To everyone, Perhaps you can never say enough about a truly life or death issue, and it's not surprising that this one raised such emotional responses. If you are just coming to this threat, you will find that most of the responses that follow are reasoned and heartfelt, and some, particulary from the engineers, achingly eloquent. Even when anger showed through, the postings shared opinions worth noting. It is clear we all feel dearly for innocent victims not behind the wheel, and anger over what is overwhelmingly an avoidable tragedy. I thank those of you who took part in this thread who kept a reasoned approach, and others who took an opportunity to learn from it. But where this debate has turned from finding solutions to angry restatements of hardened positions, it is perhaps time to move on. I am certain we will, tragically, have many opportunities to revisit this issue. Tom Chmielewski Editor, Trains.com editor@trains.com
