Ever since all those derailing incidents, I'm surprised girls don't carry at least one spare Alco GP-9. It's not smart to just assume guys like me that pocket two are going to be there.
Actually there's around a thousand train derailing incidents a year. The event you're referring to is just when one actually made it to the news.
