My heart goes out to all families who have lost loved ones in this tragedy. As an engineer myself, I ran on dark territory at 49 mph with all manner of tonnage/lading behind me. It always crossed my mind how easy it would be for some idiot with an easily attained switch key to cause unbelievable devastation by simply lining a switch. That's the first thought that comes to my mind here. <br /> <br /> If it is determined the local crew "forgot" to line the switch, or dispatcher error, then it will be interesting to see what changes, in rules or technology, are implemented due to this. It's a guarantee something will be done--as you know, the RR's react to any major incident with rule changes. <br /> <br />Rick
