President Biden keeps talking about infrastructure improvements. It just doesn’t look good when he talks about them and said infrastructure goes up in smoke. He has trouble pronouncing the word too. The residents near the railroad tracks of a couple communities might not believe the President has done any work on them or that it’s even in the hopper. South Carolina, Ohio and Texas have all had rail disasters.
We’re coming back
Biden says we’re on the road to recovery. We’re
“coming back because we came together to pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the largest investment in infrastructure since President Eisenhower’s Interstate Highway System. Already, we’ve funded over 20,000 projects, including at major airports from Boston to Atlanta to Portland. These projects will put hundreds of thousands of people to work rebuilding our highways, bridges, railroads, tunnels, ports and airports, clean water, and high-speed internet across America.”
The President’s account tweeted out that all this was going to be fixed. The most serious of the three derailments was the East Palestine, OH incident where 50 cars derailed Feb. 4.

Infrastructure has been chipped away
The cars at the Ohio accident were carrying toxic chemicals that have since been released into the air and water. The Environmental Protection Agency has said everything is fine but residents don’t believe a word.
Evacuations had been done and some of the chemicals had been burned off but hundreds of dead fish in the water don’t assure that the government is telling people the truth. In Enoree, SC, a CSX Transportation train derailed but it was minor in comparison.
Biden’s infrastructure talk landed on deaf ears
A Splendora, Texas train derailed at 7:30 am that was more serious. The driver of an 18 wheeler was killed.
According to KHOU, “Splendora Police Department said the train was heading south when the big rig crossed the tracks and was hit. The 18-wheeler was dragged half a mile down the tracks. Police said there are no guard arms or lights at this crossing where the crash took place, but that the driver of the truck should have had a clear line of sight to see the train coming.”
