Article seems to imply this accident was nonpreventible given the available technology. Weird..I guess we'll need to wait for PTC 2.0.. until then I'd be careful about booking a seat on the last car of an Amtrak.

So if certain people on here were being consistent, should not an award be under serious consideration? 

Hi, how is your day going?  Nice to see you too.

May that poor employee rest in peace, and peace be to his family and friends as well.
