- Almost everyone knows that
train travel is America s safest meth
cd of transportation. But it may
surprise you to learn just hop safe it
really is to ride on a train.
If you were to study government
records you would find that fatal

eight times as numerous as those on

in the world E. so, the comparison
shows just ho10 safe rail travel is.
