The Rise and Fall of the Diesel/Electric Behemoth.

On the news this evening it was reported traffic accidents have risen exponentially on Interstate 95, particularly in one county in North Carolina.  The CSX-T mainline travels parallel to I-95.  The Southern Corridor has become America's "Corridor of Defense."  For obvious reasons and because of Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point, CSX has an incestuous relation with our federal government.  Consequently General Electric, the manufacturer of most heavy haul diesel electric locomotives, benefits.  They haul American national defense all over North America and to the ports where American national defense travels to the Middle East to gather petrol and poppies.  No one understands that railroading is nothing like it used to be.  There is ZERO sentimentality.  Their is ZERO regulation.  There should be nothing except "Rage Against the Machine," because the UT44AC is the enemy of the human race.  Why?  Still no one understands.  When one's tactile sensations are over run.  When one's ability to FEEL is decimated.  When one's instinctual and life-long bodily reactions and gestures are pillaged and raped by machines.  This is why violence ensues.  This is why people driving on Interstate 95 loose control and kill others.  Driving, while taken for granted, is a sport.  It should be treated as nothing less.  It takes coordination, skill, and awareness.  Above all to be an excellent driver it takes physical response based upon tactile receptions.  If you can't feel your car, because a behemoth machine is lurking in your wake pumping out 4,400 horse power of dirty, electrical, diesel produced force, well then.  There are prisoners, and most of them seem to be dying.  For what?
