that'll be discovered by a dupont chemist named lammot dupont, the grandson of the founder, ei dupont. he'll be active in developing new forms of cannon powder. he'll develop a new form called mammoth powder with grains that are the size of a golf ball that can be used in larger cannons than anything the united states has ever seen before. that takes us to the beginning of the war. at the beginning of the civil war, four companies control 70% of the union's powder supply. it's a unique commodity in civil war studies too. it's the one thing the union actually produces enough of. someone else can probably stop me on that, but i find it so entertaining that out of all the goods the union is scrambling for on shortages, the powder companies don't need to get any bigger with the outbreak of the war. what they do is they convert over lines that have been making blasting powder, so this low-grade gunpowder, out of bird guano into lines that use more expensive saltpeter and produce higher grade cannon and rifle powder. but there's a problem with that. the government has a stock pile of three

dupont is even interviewed by the daily mail, which publishes bell‘s picture.urt documents show he was still abusing children. in early 2018, we travelled to meet dupont in belgium and asked ceop why nothing has been done. bell is arrested a month later. it is very strange. maybe they had other priorities. at the same time, it's a huge shame, of course, yeah, and it's pure negligence. they should have contacted me. the nca insists child protection is its top priority. in a statement, it said, "we received information which, despite researching and developing, provided insufficient evidence for action to be taken." "we thank the bbc for their visit, after which we continued to develop intelligence enabling us to act swiftly." "our professional standards department conducted an internal review, and there was no referable or recordable conduct." but questions are now being asked at westminster. i think this is incredibly disturbing, to have delays in a case like this, which is so serious, with such a vile crime against children, is really worrying. so i think we h

now, see the problem of the children of dow dupont, it's different.tunately, each of these businesses is tied to a particular business cycle which means typ timing is everything you are thinking about buying stocks at the moment times stinks for these companies although some have it worse than others. just a reminder, you've got the now dow that combines the commodity from both parents. we used to own dow inc for the travel trust but after the quarter they reported, we finally had to cut bait. this is a rough time for the - commodity space and if you want to hold on to it, a big dividend doesn't protect you if your stock keeps getting slammed. we are tired of waiting giving that we've owned the stock for years and didn't want to just be in it for the dividend you have the new dupont like the new dow except for specialty chemicals. don't i want to focus on the third one, the one that seemed exciting initially to me corteva. that's a pure play on the agricultural business made up of dupont pioneer and agro sciences it spun off into the wild at the begin

the need for safety was driven home by the 2017 amtrak crash near dupont in the state of washington. i am concerned that we need to continue to make sure that we are having situational awareness in the challenges that come with participating in a busy transportation corridor. i know that everybody is now trying to figure out how to get these people, and products and services, to places in a timely fashion, but we need to make safety a top priority. obviously positive train control, which we know is being implemented, is a key component of that, and as we consider the number of freight trains coming through and the impacts on the daily lives, we need to make sure that we've learned the lessons from the dupont accident and everything that comes with it. so i hope my colleagues will continue to push the implementation of positive train control throughout the united states. i know where we are in the state of washington, which is getting that job done, but we need to make sure that we're doing this on a national basis as well. so thank you, mr. chairman, for this important hearing. >> th

so something similar to what occurred in dupont. and so there has to be -- without ptc, a risk mitigation. the amtrak and freight railroads are going to have to look at what can be put in place if there is not going to be ptc. we're on record as saying ptc should be everywhere. there shouldn't be exceptions. and we continue to believe that. we have had 153 accidents that were preventible. >> well, i certainly believe it needs to be implement it. i'm sure if i asked mr. anderson, he is going to tell me it is implemented in washington. that doesn't give all our riders that ride outside the state of washington the security that the learning from the dupont accident that we need to implement this. and i think underlying this, mr. jeffreys, is this increase in volume of freight traffic. and this is what is -- it's causing -- so if we're doubling -- i mentioned over in spokane valley, if you are going to have a doubling in the next 15, you know, years -- if you are going at 56 freight trains a day and it's going to go to 114, it's just co

this will help prevent another dupont, washington, accident happening again. no technology is a cure all or complete replacement for well trained engineers and conductors who have strong safety cultures at a railroad and for the track maintenance and structurally sound railroad cars that are needed. that said, implementing ptc is truly a major step for safety and i know it's been a long time coming to get to where we are today. railroads and especially commuter railroad systems have faced many challenges so i look forward to the opportunity to hear from the witnesses about the steps to have ptc fully implemented everywhere and make sure it is required on our national rail system and look forward to asking specific questions about that implementation and the 1,400 miles of track that won't be covered. thank you, mr. chairman. >> and now i turn to our friend for a special introduction. >> thank you, mr. chairman-touch it is my pleasure to introduce the metro ceo and director who has successfully led our organization since 2017. every weekday metro operates nearl
