[Magdalen] Train accident

[cantor03 at aol.com]

Back in the day when the Mesabi Iron Range was so very busy  there were
frequent ore trains with a hundred or more cars.  Even my ordinarily cautious
uncle used to attempt to beat the trains.
 
In general, the USA passenger trains are very safe, but unfortunately there
is much bad publicity from accidents like this.  We need to put more money
into the rail service, IMHO.
