the biden administration just got done crushing a rail strike where massively overworked and sleep deprived workers wanted fewer hours (this was their main demand)
There are on average something like 20 train derailments per day in the US. A lot of these aren't serious (IIRC backing off the tracks in a yard counts), but it's still super high and it's only going to get worse.

the US averages about 5 derailments a day, 1704 derailments a year
