How much of our tax dollars for “infrastructure” went to private entities? So many public black holes/pockets. I read a report the vast majority of derails are due to track degradation. Per our gvt there are about 1,200 derails in the USA in a year. Why not enforce maintenance and support wisely with our tax dollars?
