I'm Scared That a Train Will Derail and Crash In My Area

With all the recent train crashes happening in predominantly lower middle class white areas, I'm scared that it will happen in my area. I live about a mile away from the nearest train tracks that separate my little blue collared suburb from the main city and sometimes I can hear the train in the middle of the night. My suburb is a manufacturing hub with lots of factories and naturally a good portion of them use hazardous chemicals to produce their products. And I say this with the utmost worry because last summer the train tracks were being worked on for a solid month - which caused all sorts of traffic problems and lately I sometimes hear the train screeching very loudly as it rolls through my neighborhood, it's happening more often than usual - could be the weather - it's been raining and snowing a lot this season.
But either way I'm still kinda on edge and so are my coworkers and neighbors that I've talked to about it this week.
