This is old news. Just run the train at 60% of the max designed speed and the train will never run off the tracks.
They could learn a lot from Americans on safety management though.

November Trial Date Set In Paulsboro Train Derailment Case
September 13, 2015 | CBS Philly |CAMDEN, N.J. (CBS/AP) — The first trial related to a train derailment that released a dangerous chemical in Paulsboro, New Jersey nearly three years ago has been set for November 16.
U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler on Friday set the new date after previously delaying the trial that was set to start this week as the two sides worked toward settlements.
More than 200 plaintiffs sued CSX Transportation, Norfolk Southern Railway Co., Conrail and others in federal court over the November 2012 derailment on a bridge in the community near Philadelphia.
but we wouldnt wanna be building any more PIPELINES, since they're 'way more dangerous' (esp to certain railroad's profits)Train carrying oil derails near Galena, Illinois

Re: Chinese High Speed Rail Comes To The U.S.
We'll see how fast the Chinese company can even get started once they encounter the alphabet soup of agencies that will be eagerly waiting to see how much trouble they can cause, all in the name of looking out for the American consumer. Or maybe they already have opened private bank accounts filled with Yuan for key people in those agencies. Still, there's the great American pastime, NIMBY pitching. I predict it will take about three times as long as it would take in China to break ground, and twice as long to build, not counting the stoppages for lawsuits, extra studies required by new laws and regulations, and of course, the many demonstrations protesting the possible endangerment of a hitherto unnoticed spider which is absolutely essential to the environment.Originally posted by vt View Post
