But the free market was supposed to disincentivize train crashes. Where’s our market solution? If only there’d been less regulation this wouldn’t have happened.

They’ve been voting against transportation infrastructure funding for years – if they hadn’t, that train would’ve been going much faster and more people would’ve died. The GOP must have time travelers.
Maybe we ought to re-frame the issue as “Mussolini, the father of Modern Fascism, liked trains and made them run on time.” Cue the Glorious American Rail Transportation Renaissance!
[EDIT]
Oh and also “Trains run on Clean Coal™…”
