The severe lack of support following a
railroad tragedy becomes apparent very soon afterward. Survivors, and family
members of those lost or severely injured, are left alone to endure an
onslaught of news reporters and attorneys who often do not represent their
profession responsibly. Many victims are approached by teams of representatives
who scientifically play a game of becoming best friends until a release from
civil litigation is obtained before the truth can be discovered. The sad truth
is, few are availble to come to the aid of those needing it the most. The
science behind the railroad industy's success in providing for their bottom
dollar does not include addressing the suffering caused to the public from
their blatant disregard for the public's safety.
The period for healing, or even recognizing the
pain that will soon be setting in, is a slow process. This beginning is the
point at which victims are at their weakest vulnerable state and many months,
possibly years, will pass before their lives make the gradual turn around
toward making some sense of the tragedy they have faced.
The function of the following pages are being
developed to help reduce the added confusion and anxiety that is soon realized
after a railroad tragedy. These pages are presently in a testing phase to
address the assurance of privacy. We plan to have the pages available, with
full instructions for use, by March, 2007. Please visit our other pages for the
time being or you may contact Charlie B. Romstad, founder of
NRSA, prior to the release of these links by clicking on his name for email
communications.
