New Jersey – maybe you got fooled into voting for this guy last time. If you vote for him again – it's ALL ON YOU.

Michigan – pay attention.

Illinois – pay attention

California – pay attention

The rest of you … pay attention!

I worked for the railroad (Penn Central ==>Conrail) as a road and yard freight conductor for 11 years. Do you really want to pursue this line of discussion?

I want you to think about the train full of Senators that was traveling at about 70 mph when it collided with a garbage truck January 31, 2018. The engineer didn't even have time to apply the brakes before the collision. (To be honest, that would have changed NOTHING). Who died? What happened next?

They brought out the yellow tape, took some photos and witness statements, sent the injured to a hospital, carted off the body from the cab of the truck and checked the rail for damage. Then they used an engine on the other end to haul the train back to Charlottesville where they put the Senators on buses.

Damage to the Senators, staff and families? Trivial.

Even though passenger engines are (relatively) light, I don't think hitting that garbage truck was enough to derail the train. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/train-carrying-gop-lawmakers-to-retreat-hits-truck-on-tracks-1-killed

Emergency responders do essentially the same for a plane wreck … except that the plane never completes the trip and they usually take the passengers to the morgue.

Perhaps you are thinking of the train in Madrid a few years back which was a real catastrophe because there was a shitload of explosives that were remotely detonated.

Doubt if anyone untrusted can get that close to Kim's private train with a couple hundred pounds of C4.

Derailments are usually the result of faulty switches + sharp flanges, worn frogs or shitty rail. As paranoid as Kim seems to be, I'm pretty sure the rail he travels inside of NK and the cars he travels in are inspected just before he uses them. Possibly the facing point switches are even temporarily welded shut.

Could I derail his train anyway? Yep. Not that hard to do if you are familiar with how things work. Does that mean that I could, with any reasonable degree of certainty, kill Kim? Absolutely not.
