They are still mad at Mel Brooks and they want to get even.

The steel used for rails is hard stuff.
You can't cut it with an ordinary saw. Takes a special blade and a large saw.

I doubt ANY of these recent derailments will be found to be because of a rail "sawed through".
First off, when you cut a rail like that, you break the circuit that governs the signals, which will drop the signal indication to a "stop" or a "stop and proceed". If it's a S&P the train will be limited to 15mph, looking out for a broken rail.
I reckon 99% of the derailments (or more) are due to mostly random incidents.
Broken journal, a recent one where a wheel came loose from the axle, or that iron ore train out in California that ran away on Cima grade (that one may be due to a crew miscalculation).
Trains will stop coming off the tracks right after the planes stop falling from the sky and ships stop sinking.

Lot more involved with rail than rail and creosote boards. Switches are much less thick, durable. Then you have the electronics, wiring, switch boxes. Also ballast around tracks can be degraded, removed or washed out. Wish you were right, but there are a 1000 things different that they can do than saw a rail.
