Lol, no.

In the US a train could completely block off a small town for weeks with no repercussions. The laws governing trains were written at the federal level, by the train companies, and can't be overridden by state law.

Any state is free to write laws governing trains. They're even less effect than the states with a lower minimum wage than the federal minimum.

This is incorrect, and a town can and does successfully fine carriers for things like blocking roads. In my city you can't block a crossing for more than 15 minutes by city ordinance.

They may pass laws and issue fines, but they will probably all be overturned if challenged if they haven't already.

I like this brain genius because they totally ignore the fact that having 27 people in an 8 person SUV is the main contributing factor as to why there are 15 fatalities.

Plus, paying attention to the number of people that were in the vehicle is the whole reason to suspect many of the passengers were children.

Thank you for this, as I'd probably not have heard otherwise. The Secret Life of Machines is a great series, with some very OSHA-looking stuff in it. The bit with them using a welder to heat a pencil up enough for the carbon to glow white hot makes me cringe every time.

e: the bit that kicks in around here, but I recommend watching the whole thing as well as every other episode:
