Larry- Remember that it is possible to run through a switch that has been lined against your movement in some circumstances. I wouldn't be too quick to pass judgment until all the facts are in. LC [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tree68 The channel 3 report I saw at six (and taped) wasn't really a report. The centerpiece of the whole thing was a gentleman who was aboard the Amtrak train that rear-ended the CSX freight a couple of years ago. Of course, he feels that the feds need to be involved (well, duh - like they aren't already). The piece also associated the near miss with a fatal (x2) train-car in Rochester (hmmm - we've already discussed that here, no further comment necessary), and the 7 car derailment in Rochester. The closing comment was that CSX had told channel 3 that the Amtrak train had moved over to the other track. Still sounds to me like a dispatcher error (my opinion - you've seen the same facts I have). I just don't see the Amtrak engineer stopping, throwing the crossover switches, then proceeding. As I recall, he was probably by himself in the cab. In the meantime, we'll wait for the final official reports to be issued. [/quote]
