Is this a general indictment of railroad companies, or am I about to read about something ghastly in the news?
No, but apparently you missed the largest chemical spill in US history while you were asleep over the last year or so.

and the one that happened after that.
and the other one that happened again right after that.
Oh, I don't doubt that they have a horrible track record, I know how that scene from the meme ends.

I see what you did there
There was a massive ammonia spill in the last few days.
Thanks, I found a story about that: article
That's scary stuff, ammonia's no joke. It sounds like if the wind was blowing the other way several people could have been teargassed to death. Imagine if that happened in a city...
I wish i could sleep for about a year or so.
It's not a US only issue

Railroad companies need to be shut down and the whole thing needs to be nationalized.
Not the topic. Not the point.
So the topic wasn't how railroads are operated by irresponsible companies?
