According to an American Enterprise Institute (AEI) analysis, rail injury rates in the U.S. are considerably higher than in Europe. Adjusted for passenger miles traveled, Amtrak’s passengers get injured 58 times as often as those on French railroads, and American riders are less safe than those who travel in even the worst European systems. Amtrak’s poor safety culture has been at the center of investigations from lawsuits against the rail service. In spite of having access to government funding, they fail to enforce strong safety standards and proper training for engineers.
