D.C. Metro Subway in the Spotlight
By, Trina L.C. Sonnenberg Copyright 2010

Recently, a good friend of mine decided that he would begin his retirement from DC Metro, writing about his 27 year experience with the inner workings of the system. He has created a blog in which he posts chapters of a book he is writing, titled, 'Metro The 51st State.'
In light of all the press the subway system has gotten since the fatal crash a couple of years ago, my friend has chosen to write about what really goes on behind the scenes. It may make you not want to ride a subway train again, at least not in D.C..
Regardless of your bent on trains, planes and automobiles, it makes interesting reading. It is very demonstrative of how problems involving public safety can and are being ignored in the name of keeping things moving. His story reveals how public safety is not a primary concern, even after people have lost their lives, due to their [Metro administrators] incompetence in dealing with health and safety issues that have been presented to them by their own employees and the public at large.
Metro employees are killed on the job, and trains crash because nothing has been done to insure that they won't. People have died just because Metro does not respond to incidents that require immediate attention.
For the full story, I encourage you to read through the documents posted on this blog; especially if you ride the subway in Washington D.C..

I did not love you when we spoke our vows.
I did not love you then and I do not love you now.
I was in love with a different man;
I could not have him then, so I settled for the one I can.
I feared going through life alone;
So I set down roots and did not roam.
Ironically, isolation was mine,
With you life was a bitter wine.
The longer I stayed the more alone I became.
The more I longed to take his name.
But it was yours I had.
Life was bad.
I knew not who to blame.
I am sorry that I married you,
When my love was never true.
My true love is now mine.
My life is truly divine.
My love for him is long and true.
Something I never felt for you.
Forever and Always...
