Based on the accuracy of past stories on train wrecks, I would take any news report with a grain of salt. Most reporters know nothing about trains, the railroad isn't going to release a whole lot of information right after a wreck happens, what information the reporter gets probably won't be understood and then the roporter has to repackage it into an article. Based on a video clip and other news reports I saw, I would say the car counts given in the quoted article were probably the number of cars damaged or invoved in the wreck, not the number of cars in the trains. The same with the positions of the trains. CSHaveRR's post appears to have more detail than the befuddled AP wire story, and there is no mention of the other train fouling the main. <br /> <br />Smith
