It's a pilot project. Thank you. Are there accident ratios on the short lines?

One of the reasons I ask the question is that some of the lines have sat idle for a while. Then a private entrepreneur comes along, sees value in that short line, and wants to pick it up. Often upgrades have to happen. What sort of inspection rate happens with that, and what is the accident rate on the short lines?
