More regulations? Yes, please. Lives > loopholes every single time.

About time Congress put safety before profits—these trains aren't fire hazards, they're potential disasters waiting to happen.

Regulations sound nice until they put freight jobs on the sidelines and prices up at the pump.

Safety’s important, but the feds shouldn't micromanage private railroads into a slow-motion disaster.
