Railroaded

Casey Jones (1863-1900), Lokomotivführer.

Case of both sides posturing in Washington after tragedy strikes? That's kind of how the Times sees it:

As investigators picked through the rubble on Wednesday morning, Democratic lawmakers in Washington angrily demanded an increase in Amtrak funding, calling Tuesday night’s accident a result of congressional failure to support the rail system. Republicans refused, defeating the request in a morning committee hearing and accusing Democrats of using a tragedy for political reasons.
