Siberianmo Reply kschmidt Member sinceApril 2001 From: US 590 posts Posted by kschmidt on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 9:54 PM Greetings, I was able to get out and get some shots of Amtrak #7 derailed. It appeared that the Diner decided to split the switch which caused the rail underneath the rear truck of the diner to roll over and derail the front truck of the coach. In talking with some TV cameraman there apparently the passengers felt little or nothing when it happened. When I got there about 7pm they had moved all the paasengers into the rear 4 cars and were feeding them dinner. Eventually the CP brought a switch engine from the yard coupled on and pulled the last 5 cars of the train back to the Milwaukee depot. I left the area about 9pm. Pretty much there were just waiting for Hulcher to arrive. Here are some photos The Diner couldn't decide which track to take. Close-up of the rolled over rail and derail trucks Looking south over derailed #7 with Miller Park in the background. Uncoupling the rear 5 cars to return to the depot with the passengers. Just before leaving heres what left for Hulcher to clean up.

I still haven't heard much currently about the ongoing investigations into the Tilt Train derailment here in Queensland. Tilt Train services are still running at reduced speeds - that is, a maximum of 100kph (60mph) instead of the usual maximum of 170kph (100mph). If I hear anything I'll pass it on here. Maybe Peter (M636C) has something up-to date... Dave Reply jeaton Member sinceSeptember 2002 From: Rockton, IL 4,821 posts Posted by jeaton on Tuesday, April 12, 2005 9:13 PM Milwaukee. According to WTMJ TV, the derailment occured close to Miller Park, which is west of downtown and the Milwaukee Amtrak station. TV shows cars on the ground, all upright, and as of this post, no report of injuries. Definately has the look of a very low speed derailment. Jay "We have met the enemy and he is us."

Track speed for that stretch is normaly 35 mph but from the looks of the derailment in news video which was at an interlocking crossover on an s curve it was not going full speed. I don't believe any injuries have been reported either. Reply Edit Join our Community! Our community is FREE to join. To participate you must either login or register for an account.
