SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK

If the railroad would have put a Y in at both ends of the metro link railroad so the engine would have been in the lead, no one would be dead. In my opinion the ceo of metro link should be the one who should be prosecuted. It is total insanity for any passenger service anywhere in the country not to have the engines first out on there trains. The difference in weight is almost 5 fold. 40 tons, the weight of a passenger car, 220 tons the weight of the engine. Out of all the crossing at grade accidents that I have ever scene involving automobiles, not big rig trucks mind you, I have never seen the train derail with the engines in front. So let’s put the ceo on trial for not creating a safe work environment for the employees and not having a safe environment for the passengers. <br /> <br />From my experience in railroading there is not a proactive safety environment, when it is going to cost the railroad company any money to fix the problem. The only way the problem ever gets fixed is when someone gets hurt and/or someone gets killed! Thus the ceo of metro link is the person, in my opinion, to blame. <br />
