MY FAMILY AND WERE ON 5 THAT DAY, FELT THE BUMP AND SAW THE DEBRIS GO BY. BUT IT SEEMED (BEING A RR EMPLOYEE) THAT GETTING IT GOING AGAIN TURNED INTO 24 HRS OF BAD CHOICES AND NO RESTED CREWS. ANYBODY KNOW THE STORY?

Seems a little late to be seeking information about the incident, unless one is a sue happy lawyer trying to troll the boards posing as a minimally educated teen shouting at the top of your keyboard.  Sounds like  phishing expedition! 

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

YOUR WAY TOO SUSPICIOUS. I JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE THE CORNFIELD CREW CHANGES AND HOURS TO SET OUT A DAMAGED CREW CAR,  OR DROP THE LEAD ENGINE AT GALESBURG AND COMMING IN 24 HRS LATE TO DENVER. WHAT'S TO SUE ABOUT. THE ACCIDENT WASN'T AMTRACKS FAULT, JUST THE DELAYS MADE NO SENSE.  BY THE WAY I WORKED MANY YEARS IN ENGINE SERVICE FOR THE ROCK ISLAND, I'M NOT A MINIMALLY EDUCATED TEEN. ANYBODY LESS NERVOUS KNOW HAPPENED.
