The newly elected Republicans are talking about a revolution in   
   deregulation.  Will PTC be dropped?  Other railroad safety regulations?   
      
   Historical note:  in the late 1940s, there were a number of nasty   
   train wrecks, overall all, hundreds of people were killed (see separate   
   thread on speed control).  It was that experience that motivated many   
   of the regulations we have today.
