    By the time I get under the cover of the train station, I could only imagine that my burger and fries are now drenched and mushy. I decide against eating the soggy food and throw it in the rubbish bin just before the steps of the tube. I jump onto the steps and make my way to the top of the stairs on the landing. I hurriedly push myself through the oversized double doors. The train station is nothing like how I left it. It is now in complete chaos. Directly in front of the doors there are flashing

    hazards and vulnerabilities. For example, the Movement of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) represents a potential environmental or chemical hazard if an accident were to occur. The 2013 Lac-Mégantic rail disaster exemplify this hazard. Although the train rolled down a very slight (~1-2%) incline, the devastation that followed was more representative of a bomb being dropped on the town rather than a rail accident. This is, of course, an extreme instance, however, even the lesser hazards, for example

    commuting by train. Trying not to get mauled by the rush hour crowd or sitting sleepily on a bench, wishing I didn’t have to get up so early, is routine I don’t give much thought to, other than as complaint fodder. As long as I’m concerned, I just have to get somewhere—and it’s not necessarily a peaceful ride. Because I never rode the LRT-1, I assumed it would be the same as my usual commute. However, for once, I decided to pay attention to the little details. I rode the LRT-1 train on a rainy day

    As the purpose of train travel improved over the century, so did the material used for train tracks. The main material used in tracks is steel, and this is crack resistance to allow smooth and continuous travel during long journeys. Similarly, toy train tracks are designed in a similar fashion, but composed of different material such as wood or plastic.

    actually are. The reality is the train can be much closer and going faster then we think it is. A 100-car long freight train travelling 60mph can take as much as 1.25 miles to stop after an emergency brake application. Some passenger trains can travel at speeds up to 100mph. And the train will not be swerving to miss us, should we be in harms way. We probably have better odds of winning a lottery then surviving being hit by a train. Be a safety example for the next generations of rail fans to come
