According to statista (generally reliable stats platform in germany) there have been 68 derailments in the whole EU in 2016, which seems in the ballpark where that should be.
Which makes the 1700 derailments look… very bad.

it’s because our rail infrastructure is fucking garbage. The private companies who own the railways make no investments, drive their workers as hard as possible so they can pay them less overall, and generally make scheduling and tracking a nightmare of delays. We are running obsolete rolling stock on obsolete track with tired overworked engineers, no shit everything breaks. The entire rail network needs to be nationalized.
