3.美國火車一列經常有上百車廂，不像台灣頂多10幾輛車廂，所以等平交道半小時以上是常態。

這列車足足有 151 節車箱。

Excess size caused train to break down in days before it derailed in Ohio, employees say
When Norfolk Southern train 32N derailed in Ohio earlier this month, it was not the first time it had experienced problems on the route.
The train, which originated from Madison, Illinois, on the evening of Feb. 1, broke down at least once before derailing in East Palestine, Ohio, on Feb. 3, according to employees familiar with the matter.
The employees say there were concerns among those working on the train over what they believed was the train's excessive length and weight — 151 cars, 9,300 feet long, 18,000 tons — before it reached East Palestine, which contributed to both the initial breakdown and the derailment.
Still, the train that derailed is considered to be "very long," according to Sarah Feinberg, who served as administrator of the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) from 2015 to 2017.
"When I was FRA administrator, I was not happy with the lengths of the trains, and they were 80 or 90 cars long," Feinberg said. "This train was 50% longer."

員工說，尺寸過大導致火車在俄亥俄州出軌前幾天出現故障
當諾福克南方公司的32N號列車本月初在俄亥俄州出軌時，這並不是它第一次在這條線路上遇到問題。
據熟悉此事的員工說，這列火車於2月1日晚從伊利諾伊州的麥迪遜出發，在2月3日在俄亥俄州的東巴勒斯坦出軌之前至少發生了一次故障。
這些員工說，在火車上工作的人對他們認為火車在到達東巴勒斯坦之前的過長和過重--151節車廂，9300英呎長，18000噸--感到擔憂，這導致了最初的故障和脫軌。
儘管如此，據2015年至2017年擔任聯邦鐵路管理局（FRA）局長的薩拉-芬伯格（Sarah Feinberg）稱，出軌的列車仍被認為是 "非常長 "的。
"當我是FRA局長時，我對列車的長度不滿意，它們有80或90節車廂長，"費恩伯格說。"這列火車長了50%。"
