If you live in New Jersey chances are, and Johnny's guessing here, you've been on some kind of train. Since this article deals with rail safety over the last twenty years, we'll use that as our baseline. Sometime in these last twenty years you've gotten on some kind of NJ-based train, PATH, Amtrak, NJ Transit, HB Light Rail, you're probably been on one.
In somewhat alarming news, especially after the horrible train accident in Philadelphia this week, did you know then 600 trains have derailed in New.Jersey over past twenty years AND the rate of "human error" in those derailments is TWICE the national average? Sobering news and you're probably wanting to know more at this point, good for you Johnny has a link.
