<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Ed,</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Those are all good points. I don’t need to know what Burkhardt knows in order to know that he is either lying or making a mistake in his assertion that the engineer failed to set sufficient hand brakes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Just to clarify something, Burkhardt has been all over the map in his characterization of this issue. He first insisted that the engineer <span style="text-decoration:underline;">did</span> properly set enough hand brakes. Then he said his investigation showed that the engineer did not sufficiently set hand brakes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Then he said that he "feels" that the engineer did not set sufficient hand brakes. Next he said that “we originally believed the engineer, and now we don’t.” And finally, he has said that it is implausible that the engineer set sufficient hand brakes. I say Burkhardt is wrong on the face of it because he does know what caused the train to roll, so he cannot attribute the roll to a lack of action on the part of the engineer. That is simple Logic 101. </span></p>
