A commuter train derailment outside Los Angeles that sent 28 people to the hospital and left a tractor-trailer in flames was the latest in a series of high-profile accidents on the nation's rails. It was only a week ago that a 109-car train carrying crude oil derailed in snowy West Virginia , destroying a home and sending one of the cars tumbling into a river that supplies drinking water. A person or a car is hit by a train every three hours in the United States, according to government statistics, but the latest series of crashes comes at a time when train travel is getting safer. http://nbcnews.to/17vk7Oq http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
