Regarding the site of the Amtrak derailment at Kensington, "the first idiot Amtrak critic" might be apt to say that it is Amtrak's fault because that person does not know it is not Amtrak's responsibility to maintain the rails in that area. Well, that certain person would be uneducated in such matters. As the rails belong to CSX, then CSX would be responsible for maintaining the rails. <br /> <br />Of course, that also goes for any railroad company, like BNSF, in which they have to maintain the railroad in such places like from San Diego to Los Angeles. <br /> <br />Since Amtrak owns the rails for their NE Corridor runs, certainly they have the responisibility to maintain the rails there. <br /> <br />I like to see Amtrak build another line between San Diego and Los Angeles, but it could be impossible to construct them between San Diego and Oceanside as there is very little room to add more rails.
