I live less than 30 minutes from Graniteville on the other side of the river in Georgia, so this has been all over the TV. The NTSB spoke at a news conference and stated that the crew of the local were hired back in the 70's so it's not like they didn't know what they were doing. Here's a question for all the engineers out there, why did they leave the train sitting in the siding of the Avondale Mills plant? They couldn't bring it back to Augusta which is about 15 minutes or more away? I live less than a mile from CSX's Spartanburg Subdivision and CSX most always leaves a ballast train sitting in the siding under interstate 20 sometimes for an entire weekend. What is the purpose of leaving trains sitting when they are relatively close to the nearest yard? <br /> <br />My prayers go out the families of both crews and my neighbors in South Carolina.
