Safety Inspector Fired for Finding Too Many Defects Could Cost #BNSF Railroad Millions - Dude was fired for reporting the truth and his supervisor got a $20k bonus for getting rid of him and protecting corporate profits over passenger safety. Surprised? I didn’t think so. #Railroads #RailroadSafety #transportation #BurlingtonNorthernSantaFe #CorporateGreed https://jalopnik.com/safety-inspector-fired-for-finding-too-many-defects-cou-1850817520

#CPKC is the only #railway with trackage rights linking Canada, Mexico, and the United States under one railway company. That’s over 32,000 km of trackage across three countries!
Quite a remarkable move, and something that’ll compete with the railway titans #UnionPacific (UP) and #BNSF. UP is already making moves to partner with #Ferromex , the largest freight railway company in Mexico, to streamline the transfer of cargo across the U.S.-Mexico border in order to compete with CPKC.

#Chicago|land 🇺🇸 is home to a dense rail network. The western approach, nicknamed BNSF “Chicago Racetrack”, is among the country’s busiest railway lines. The stainless steel bi-level “Gallery Cars” designed by #Budd in the 1950s are still to be seen in #Metra #BNSF commuter trains.
