QUOTE: Originally posted by joesap1 This is just the sort of thing that really bothered me. The Amtrak tries to zoom along and it periodically rocks violently as it crosses certain sections of track. Could this have caused today's accident? Has it caused Amtrak derailments in the past? Some of you may be right when you have written that Amtrak should go away. The intent of this thinking, I suppose, is that the railroads will return to passenger service and do a better job. How about the recent article in the November issue that NS is considering passenger service. Well, for now, we must pray that all the passengers and crew of the Acela are safe.
