The Brightline private train line has killed 104 Trump supporters since its recent startup. Roaring through sleepy towns at 80 miles an hour, many elderly don't even hear the whistle before they become a roadkill pancake.
In small towns like Palm Bay Florida, the laidback pedestrians were used to slow moving freight trains. All that changed with Brightline's plan to join Miami and Orlando with a speedy connection. While the line invested $millions in new tracks and bridges capable of handling the speed up to 130mph, the human factor got no attention. On the contrary, complaints about the loud whistles will only increase the carnage.
Perhaps the next president could control the border problem with a Brightline Train instead of a wall.

ReplyDeleteSad. I don't know how you know they were tRump supporters but I guess they would be the most likely to cross the tracks with the crossing gates down.
ReplyDeleteanon@11:29: reference to "Trump supporters" was of course tongue and cheek, but the carnage from this train line is all too real.
