Shockingly Poor Ohio Train Tracks Show That It’s Surprising More Trains Don’t Crash
zachnading Published 02/17/2023
With track infrastructure this bad, it's honestly a shock that more trains haven't already derailed.
Videos such as this make us wonder when the last time tracks like these in Ohio were actually upgraded. Probably the last time the Cleveland Browns won a Super Bowl. For those who aren't football fans, that was never.
Ohio jokes aside, this is a clear safety issue that will most definitely lead to more derailments and more crashes. Even though fatalities are uncommon in these situations, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics there are an average of 1,704 train derailments every year. The goal should be to get that number to zero.

Shocking! This is an actual freight train moving over a twisted, "bendy" railway track linking Ohio and Indiana in the USA!!

It's like a 4th world country.
America should fix its sh*thole infrastructure rather than waging endless wars.#Russia #Ukraine #China pic.twitter.com/EPs9rca9pL
