   According to press reports, the drailment of the oil train in West Virginia   
   was inspected 3 days before the accident.   
      
   For those of you who track the technology aspect of railroads, what exactly   
   does such an "inspection" consist of?  Is the track in such crummy shape   
   that it fails 3 days after passing inspection?  It seems as if better   
   inspections need to be made.
