A CSX train derailed near Livingston, Ky., causing people to evacuate their homes on Wednesday.
The railroad company promised hotel rooms and Thanksgiving meals for people asked to evacuate after the train derailed, spilled chemicals and caught fire, The Associated Press reported. The train derailed around 2:30 p.m. near the remote town that has a population of about 200 people.
This could have been prevented if cabooses were still mandatory like they were before 1983. The fact that cabooses are not still mandated for regular use on trains is beyond ridiculous and completely unacceptable.
That being said, I expect this petition to reach 1,000 signatures by Christmas of this year. Absolutely no excuses for why I cannot achieve that. I expect you all to share this petition on any social media platforms that you are actively using and by means of text message and email as well. However, if for some reason I don't achieve this goal, I will declare this petition a miserable failure and shut it down. DO NOT LET ME DOWN!!! I NEED THIS PETITION TO BE SUCCESSFUL!!!! IT MUST NOT FAIL!!!!!
