QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 LC, is this kind of story really necessary or appropriate for the forum? Yes it's sad, but people die every day. In this case, I think it's quite clear that Amtrak had nothing to do with her death. People die when they die, regardless of location, it could have been an airplane or a bus just as easily. As for the children, the father will probably get them, unless there is a reason why he shouldn't.
QUOTE: Originally posted by Big_Boy_4005 QUOTE: Originally posted by TomDiehl Big_Boy, yes, this is appropriate for this forum. This happened on an Amtrak train, and even though Amtrak obviously had nothing to do with it, it bears a strong possibility that, at the very least, it will bring them some bad press. Average people won't hear that she died of stress or drug interaction, but that she died on Amtrak. And they'll probably ask their railfan friends about it (that's us). We should know the story BEFORE the question is asked. You put too much importance on the power of this forum. It's reach will have no effect on this story, which as far as I know, did not make the national news. At the time of this post, this topic has been viewed 271 times, of which, at least 5 are mine. I have told nobody, nor has anyone asked, so you do the math. Amtrak, bad press over this???? You are kidding right?? This probably isn't the first time something like this has happened, and it won't be the last. This just isnt news, it's an obituary. It isn't as if the train contributed to her death, which means it really isn't train related. It just happened on a train.
