Honestly? I really doubt that, unless you consider the events that lead up to Conrail as already having had their Boeing days. The American rail industry is an absolute disaster, and has been for decades. Derailments happen quite frequently (on average 3 a day in the US), you just actually hear about them now due to East Palestine. None of this is new.
Selling off Conrail is still an inexplicably stupid decision to me, even looking at it from the full neoliberal brainrot angle.
