our main story tonight concerns trains
in the 1800s the preferred method of
murdering damsels are nowadays
anti-depressants for middle-aged dads
trains aren't just a mode of
transportation they are beloved
children's characters in shows like
Thomas the Tank Engine except not that
one I'm talking about the British
original narrated by Ringo Star which is
much darker take this episode in which
Henry the Green Engine gets frightened
of the rain and won't come out of a
tunnel everyone begs him and then yells
at him Thomas even tries to physically
push him out and then finally the head
of the Railway steps in with a drastic
solution we shall take away your rails
he said and leave you here for always
and always and always they took up the
old rails and built a wall in front of
him so that Henry couldn't get out of
the tunnel
[Music]
anymore
[Music]
yeah the British version of Thomas
didn't around and episod who
premise is stop complaining about work
or we'll throw you in your Forever hole
has got to be one of the most disturbing
episodes of children's TV ever right up
there with the episode of Blue's Clues
where blue reveals herself to be the
Zodiac Killer come on Steve the clues
were a handgun a zodiac symbol and an
issue of the San Francisco Chronicle
from 196 69 she basically wanted to get
caught and if you're thinking well
surely that was the midpoint of the
episode and Henry was eventually allowed
out so that there'd be a happy ending
with all his friends it wasn't this is
how it ends he wondered if he would ever
be allowed to pull trains
again but I think he deserved his
punishment didn't
[Music]
you
[Music]
look there are Children's shows and then
there are British children's shows and
that is why I am and this is true like
this well we're going to be talking
about one kind of train in particular
tonight freight trains and let me just
say for the record this show is prot
train they are objectively good they're
fast they're loud and they make noises
like chuga chuga choo choo and ding ding
ding ding ding I love trains and freight
trains are essential we rely on them to
transport around 28% of the country's
Freight and while trucks also carry
Freight great distances and have some
pretty hit sounds of their own to
which trains are much better for the
environment as they only account for 2%
of us Transportation emissions but
unfortunately as we saw earlier this
year in East Palestine Ohio when freight
trains go off the rails they can cause
immense damage that crash incurred an
estimated cost of at least 800 $ 103
million in total damages and 80% of
residents surveyed say they've
experienced headaches rash coughs eye
irritation and diarrhea and about 40%
say they suffer from PTSD for while that
was a particularly nasty derailment the
truth is it shouldn't have been that
surprising last year there were more
than a thousand train deal rment in the
US that means an average of three per
day and while most occur in Rail Yards
and aren't major incidents the ones that
occur outside of them can cause a huge
mess the Flaming freight train Inferno
outside Phoenix Arizona derailing on a
bridge in Tempe a runaway train
derailing in the Mojave Desert causing a
mangled mess tonight new dash cam video
shows the moment a norol Southern Train
derailed in Springfield Ohio from
livecopter 3 an exclusive view with the
Union Pacific trained rail Min 33 cars
total 22 derailed a red substance was
spilled but officials have not confirmed
what it is look none of that is good but
the phrase a red substance was spilled
but officials have not confirmed what it
is is truly chilling it sounds less like
a legitimate news report and more like
the first draft of a Steven King novel
so train derailments happen a lot and
experts say the reason we haven't had
massive loss of life in this country as
a result is more luck than anything else
the railroads are going to keep flirting
with danger keep Flirting With Disaster
as long as people are getting rich I
don't want to say that we dodged a
bullet in East Palestine but the next
one may be in a major urban area
it may be in a downtown Chicago it may
be in a downtown New York City it is
terrifying to think a train disaster
like East Palestine could happen in New
York partly because I live here and
partly because New Yorkers are dealing
with enough dread and panic as it is we
are a Perpetual Terror Target we got the
country's first big wave of covid we had
a Biblical plague of lantern flies last
summer and there's an army of creepy
Elmos running rampant in Time Square we
don't have the anxiety bandwidth to also
worry about a giant Train full of Po
poison exploding in the middle of the
city so if freight trains have the power
to cause that much damage tonight let's
talk about them and let's start with the
fact that the freight rail industry used
to be heavily regulated but in the 1970s
after the interstate highway system came
along and rail shipping lost a lot of
business to trucking there was pressur
