Although this accident was unfortunate for the one individual, the one problem remains is, that for all of Amtrak's efforts to restore cars to working order, we're back to square one. We're now faced, once again, with an equipment shortage due to this accident. Plus too, everyone in the national news media will point fingers at us(Amtrak) for the cause of this derailment, not the fact that the tracks which we must use, are owned by someone else. CN/IC gets paid well each day for us to use their tracks. Knowing the type of weather patterns we've been having for the past months, where we''ve had alot of snow and rain, they should have been more vigilent with their inspections of the tracks, especially since the terrain in that area is subject to sink or wash away easily. Yet, no one will focus on those issues, only that Amtrak is to blame for what happened-end of story! Sounds crazy, but, fiction sells newspapers, not the truth! <br /> <br /> <br />Glenn <br />A R E A L RAILROADER...A TRUE AMERICAN!!!
