Lousy episode. The producers allowed their left wing bias to distort the plot.This episode was based on the runaway train wreck twenty years ago in the El Cajon pass in California. That happened because the weight of the train was miscalculated and other technical problems with the brakes. In this fictional version, the brakes were OK, the train would have stopped in time except for the callous disregard of safety by the rail operator (railroad president) who deliberately sends overloaded trains down the tracks. The plot looks at a mobster as a possible culprit for a while then clears him. That is so the FBI agents can chat among themselves, explicitly equating normal business ethics with those of the Mob. This happens long before the businessman is fingered for the crime.To add to the air of the surreal, the passengers trapped in the crashed train are rescued by FBI special agents, the regular cast, instead of by Fire and Rescue personnel. This being Hollywood, they do not wear hard hats or firefighters' helmets or fire resistant clothing as they crawl inside the wreckage. That would keep the viewers from recognizing the actors. Dumb and offensive.
