[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by jeaton</i> <br /><br />MP57313- <br /> <br />With the item you quoted, I was refering to a situation where Amtrak may or may not have caused a delay to freight trains. <br /> <br />As far as being at fault for an accident, I am sure they have been, certainly more than once. <br /> <br />Jay <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />IN the past few years I seem to recall at least two incidences where Amtrak overan their signals and crashed into the side of passing UP freights. As I recall both were determined to be the fault of the Amtrak crew. <br /> <br />Also, lets not forget the near cornfield meet in Syracuse, NY last year after the Amtrak Engineer fell asleep at the controls. A couple of years before that there was actually a rear end collision in Syracuse between an Amtrak train and a CSX freight after the AMtrak Engineer had a diabetic attack. <br /> <br />These are all instances involving main lines being out of service and considerable disruption of freight traffic. I'm sure there are numerous others... <br /> <br />LC
