My sympathy goes out to the families of those who lost their lives at Granitevile, SC. The NS has traditionally been one of the safest operating class one carriers. The engineer on the local that had pulled clear of the main track, by rule is, required to ask the conductor or brakeman on the ground to double check the condition of the mainline switch and derail to make sure that they are lined for safe through train movement. It would be intersting to know whether both the main track switch and derail were left lined for side track, or just the main line switch. If both were lined for movement to siding that could indicate sabotage as opposed to human error on part of ground crew.
