[quote user="blue streak 1"]Why did engineer miss speed restriction ? It was stated somewhere else that visibility is restricted in a Charger ,[/quote] On page 12 of the Onboard Image Recorder Groups's Factual report is a photo showing a yellow reflective sign at trackside. It was identified as the speed restriction warning 2 miles ahead of the curve. On the photo of the foreward looking camera it is just a yellow blot in the headlight. In daylight the sign is good readable on photos. How does the engineer see it at knight? Is it readable? [quote user="blue streak 1"]If visibility is restricted maybe at different angles than P-42s maybe engineer without running a charger before did not know how to look around restrictions to observe signage ? Not much of a possibility but something to look into.[/quote] Here are photos of the Charger and the P42. _ Charger <a href="https://www.progressiverailroading.com/resources/editorial/2017/082917-Amtrak-Siemens-Charger-locomotive.jpg">https://www.progressiverailroading.com/resources/editorial/2017/082917-Amtrak-Siemens-Charger-locomotive.jpg</a> - P42 <a href="http://l.yimg.com/g/images/spaceout.gif">http://l.yimg.com/g/images/spaceout.gif</a> The Charger has wider posts at the outside of the windows.They are required as corner post according to FRA crashworthiness standard which the P42 didn't need at that time.
