So, once again we catch teasel posting lies.

The lie:
Trump rolled back rail safety regulations which would have prevented the derailment of the train carrying vinyl chloride in East Palestine.

That regulation was about automatic braking systems on trains and their rail cars.

The derailment of the East Palestine train was caused by overheated wheel bearings on a rail car, having nothing whatsoever to do with the brake system. Either the wheel bearings were not properly lubricated or foreign matter...grit and dirt got into the wheel bearings, wore the bearing out and caused them to catch on fire.

Nothing to do with the brakes.

During an interview aired on Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chair Jennifer Homendy stated that while electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes would make things safer, when it comes to the East Palestine, Ohio derailment, “even with ECP brakes, the derailment would have occurred, the fire would have ensued, and the five vinyl chloride tank cars would still have to be vented and burned.” ...................

The United States has recently experienced numerous high-profile incidents involving the destruction of critical infrastructure, including fires at warehouses and food processing plants, and other events impacting the nation’s food, water and energy assets.

A primary concern for many are train derailments across the U.S., some of which have resulted in ecological damage to surrounding areas, killing animals and contaminating the water supply. Such events are garnering closer national scrutiny.

The sharp focus placed on these incidents by media and online personalities has sparked concern that the destruction may be part of an asymmetric warfare campaign undertaken by one or more U.S. adversaries. Often named as a suspect is Russia, whose officials have vowed “consequences” after an explosive report was published by award-winning investigative journalist Seymour “Sy” Hersh, alleging that U.S. President Joe Biden ordered the destruction of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline to Europe.

But, against the backdrop of the specter of war with Russia and/or China, questions mount concerning the possibility that foreign or domestic actors may be acting as saboteurs. Timcast was urged by a military professional to examine connections between train accidents and military lines of transportation or facilities.

One common denominator among the spate of recent train derailments is that many have occurred along a key railway system used by the military — the U.S. Department of Defense’s Strategic Rail Corridor Network, otherwise known as STRACNET.

The U.S. Department of Transportation supports the STRACNET program, which enables the DoD to “access more than 32,000 miles of rail lines to move essential military equipment to ports located around the country and to connect military facilities,” according to a report from the Defense Technical Information Center........
