Well Ironhorseman GE owns one signal compnay now and Westinghouse the other. COAX came in when was it around 1960 or so. We landed on the moon when? <br />Tell me: <br />Where is one witness seeing the truck going around the gate! <br />WHY did the railroad rip the event recorder out before the NTSB got to it. <br />Why did the broken gate disappear? Wouldn't be because it would show an internal or external fracture now could it? <br />How did the engineer lock of the brakes? You have to watch the simulation closely. <br />...Then there was a situation where a grain car <br />was leaking soy meal. It has tendency to cause a <br />coating on the subsequent axles in that car, and we had <br />a momentary loss of shunt. While the train was <br />transferring some crossings, the gates started up and <br />went back down... <br /> MR. WALPERT: Subsequent to the accident, <br />have there been any reports of false activations to <br />your knowledge? <br /> MR. SHARKEY: I don't recall. <br />http://www.ntsb.gov/events/1999/bourbonnais/trans_990914.txt <br />http://www.ntsb.gov/events/1999/bourbonnais/trans_990913.txt <br />http://www.ntsb.gov/events/1999/bourbonnais/trans_990915.txt <br />http://www.ntsb.gov/Events/2002/bourbonnais/amtrak59_anim.htm <br />http://www.ntsb.gov/Events/2002/bourbonnais/amtrak59_anim.htm <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
