Regarding the UP Carizozo NM head on: "The event recorders from both locomotives of the striking (eastbound) train recorded a speed of 36 mph at impact, with no input from the crew for several miles before the collision, including no braking action before impact." Is a US model event recorder not tied to a crew alerter ? This collision would never have happened in Canada. The Reset Safety Device, or TMACS, used on BCRail, CN, and CP would have long stopped the train given that there were no control inputs from the deceased hogger for several miles. Not that I am taking pot shots, but our SBU's have always been two -way, and the BNSF runaway in Cajon Pass where the hogger was unable to dump his train from the tail end would have never occurred with Canadian equipment either.
