In this photo provided by Kimberly Fossen people work at the scene of an Amtrak train derailment on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021, in north-central Montana. Multiple people were injured when the train that runs between Seattle and Chicago derailed Saturday, the train agency said.
The Empire Builder train derailed at 4 p.m. near Joplin, a town of about 200, Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams said in a statement. The accident scene is about 150 miles north of Helena and about 30 miles from the border with Canada.Megan Vandervest, a passenger on the train who was going to visit a friend in Seattle, told The New York Times that she was awakened by the derailment.
She told the Times that the car behind hers was tilted over, the one behind that was entirely tipped over, and the three cars behind that “had completely fallen off the tracks and were detached from the train.” Amtrak was working with the local authorities to transport injured passengers and safely evacuate all other passengers, Abrams added.
***BREAKING NEWS*** The investigation has taken a turn. Apparently the train died of complications of Global Warming and Covid-19
Blame the airlines for lack of funding Delta AmericanAir lobbyists
Maybe a little infrastructure work might help prevent a lot of this, ya think?
In a state where the National Guard has been called to help with hospital overflow. 🤦♀️
Compared to Europe and Asia, the USA's approach to transportation infrastructure is pitiful. I lived in Japan for four years. Not once was a train late. Not once was there an accident. They transport 100 times more people by train than we do without an issue. Pitiful.
And the Progressive Democrats want to keep playing games with America's infrastructure. What's next, another bridge collapse? Physical infrastructure now.

Article is an ad-baiting joke!
How would that happen? Really

People said that the train, once it was in Montana, refused to be..'traccinated' - Multiple people have been injured aft an Amtrak train, running between Seattle & Chicago derailed in north-central Montana. The train had ~147 passengers & ~13 crew onboard
😱 OMG
Damn.
We are hearing horrible stories. No cell service and little resources in that area. Multiple fatalities and many injured.
If it had more funding this might not have happened as bad or maybe not at all 🤷🏽♀️
Biden’s fault
At least 3 dead, per CBS News:
This is incredibly sad. The multiple crisis continue to hit the states.
Why are Amtrak trains derailing in Biden’s America?
this is terrible news
