In article , Gunner says...

Other motor vehicle 19,500 1,700,000 15,000 1,010,000 8,980,000

19,500/8,980,000 = 0.002 = 0.2% fatality rate.

Railroad train 400 2,000 200 1,000 5,000

400/5,000 = 0.08 = 8% fatality rate.

A motorist is 40 times more likely to die in a crash involving a train
than with another motor vehicle.

I don't see the 40 times in the figures above, gunner. Granted

0.08/0.002 = 40x difference, Jim.

That's if the stats showed all 1998 train wrecks, not just those
involving automobiles.
