If this thread is going to get sidetracked into passenger rail safety stats - for the passengers - there have been at least 2 incidents that I recall being discussed here where the passenger opened the door at night and fell out of the train With fatal results. Not a train collision, but an accident that did result in the death of a passenger. But this is getting way, way off-topic from posts about proposed expansions of Amtrak and intercity passenger rail.
