Somehow You Didn't Die on Your Way to Work

1948, a time when Dallas ran on rails... and also a shockingly bad form of signaling that worked mainly off of landline phones and social niceties. (We did this one again, since the old one wasn't the best.)Got a story from public transit you'd like to share?

See, I always thought that the rock and roll lifestyle would involve copious amounts of drugs, but it turns out that dying in an easily preventable plane crash is way more likely. ---Got a story from public transit you'd like to share?

Instead of the Saxophones getting louder, it's the song "Low Rider" by War that gets louder and louder until suddenly you're stopped in front of 125 MPH express train. -Got a story from public transit you'd like to share?

Sometimes you die on the way to work, and that's bad. Sometimes you and *everyone around you* dies on the way to work, and that is a disaster. Don't drink and drive, kids, especially if you're a ferryboat captain. Got a story from public transit you'd like to share?

April Fools! Well, almost. We're talking about the nonsense that takes place in the Railway Series, and have some special guests to help us do that.

This episode almost broke us in more ways than one. The series of events that led to this accident were less "Swiss cheese model" and more "boring a hole through a block of cheese with a drill." Be glad it's only happened once. And wow, there was a hell of a news cycle since the previous episode was recorded, so you get an extra heaping dose of the news!

This seems like a simple accident, but in actuality it's a prime example of the Swiss Cheese Model, with lots of different holes all lining up to allow a bus and a train to fight to a draw.

It's also a prime of example of the TSB needing a stronger prescription for their ADHD meds.

Texas International 655 is a forgotten story of 11 people dying in the dark recesses of rural Arkansas. We learned nothing from this, because we chose to learn nothing from this. The 1970s were a bad time.
