Original Note:
Per this article, there have been 13 derailments in the U.S. in 2023 as of Feb. 13, and an average of 1704/year in the period 1990-2021. The expected number of derailments 44 days into the year would be 1704*44/365 = 205, so 13 would be significantly fewer than average. https://www.newsweek.com/more-dozen-trains-have-derailed-us-this-year-1780952
