I won't discuss specifics on a public site, but there is a very simple and low cost way to bring rail transportation in the US to an absolute crawl.

It's not so much in creating a lot of damage or lives lost, but it adversely affects train speeds......... because of the procedures required to ensure it wouldn't happen again.

Just imagine if every freight train (forget the passenger trains) were to suddenly have to operate at what we call "restricted speed" ("...movement must be made at a speed that allows stopping within half the range of vision short of: train engine, railroad car, men or equipment fouling the track, stop signal, or derail or switch not properly lined. The crew must keep a lookout for broken rail and not exceed 20 MPH.”).

It's something I thought about years ago...and I have yet to see a good way to stop it, should certain other actions be taken by terrorists.

Nah they'd just bring back the rail car or what ya ma call it. They had guys ride that thing that they have to pump the handle and check for bombs and broken places ahead of regular runs. High pay high risk.

You are very close to what I'm talking about.

If a certain action was taken to derail a train (that's the part I'm keeping quiet on), that cannot be detected without a track inspection ahead of each train or the train running at "restricted speed" .......every single train running on the approximately 200,000 miles of track would slow to a crawl.

Just think of the huge blow to commerce.

Everything from grain to coal.......... would be in short supply.

Over-the-road-trucks could only pick up a small fraction of the slack.

It would be utter chaos.

what did George do? Ignore the memo about Usama and hijacking planes

allow the greatest attack on American soil to occur?

Let the relatives of said terrorist escape the country?

Let the terrorist himself escape at Tora Bora?

Close down the unit charged with finding him?

Say publicly Usama wasn't a "high priority"?

Take his eye off the ball by invading an innocent country for profit?


You're right George did a lot.


Obama did something too.
