<p>[quote user="BaltACD"]</p> <p><span style="color:#0000ff;">This segment of track is about as bad as maintenance can be...rail appears to be unsecured for 7 tie lengths. Like any major incident, this one will be found to have more than one contributory cause and the absence of any one of which would most likely have prevented the incident.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#0000ff;">Taking a unloaded 'Sparky' for a unloaded couple of laps does not constitute a adequate start of the season inspection of either the rolling stock or the track structure. Winter, even in South Carolina, takes a toll on things that must survive in the elements.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#0000ff;"></span> <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> <strong>MerrilyWeRollAlong:</strong></div> <div></div> <p> <img onload="function onload() { function onload() { resizeImage(this); } }" src="http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab156/davidlung79/sparkyb.jpg" alt="http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab156/davidlung79/sparkyb.jpg" /><a target="_blank" href="http://s859.photobucket.com/albums/ab156/davidlung79/?action=view&current=sparkyc.jpg"></a></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p> </p> </blockquote> </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I assume that that track condition is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">damage caused by the derailment</span>, rather than a deteriorated track condition that caused the derailment.</span></span></p>
