What is surfacing is the carelessness, the alcholism and drugs now plaging this land where responsible workers is a dying breed. Is there a serious future disater in the making? Indeed, I am not alone in this assesment. Imagine this occuring at high speed? Minister of transport, borrow some more money from China or get crappy rolling stock from India and China!!!

If disintegrated by any chance, it is automatically break the both sides due to vacuum break system. However in a actue slope, even it is standstill, there may be chances of ( Very rearely) but had happened) dragging down. Then you can easily tap the hell or heaven..
