That's a pretty broad statement. Outside of India, Thailand and a few other places? Actually the U.S. has one of the world's lowest railway accident fatality rates.

Nice try, but here's a link to the top 10 worst train accidents. None of them happened in the US. Europe has two of the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has only 28 km vs the highest, China, with 19,000 km. No surprise the latter will have a higher rate of accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
