I seen that. how rotten was the track where it couldn't take a train locking up it's brakes at maybe 10 miles a hour causeing it to derail? Looked like there was a crossing there to me so it wasn't a so-called trespasser and was the trespasser just used for a excuse for the rotton tracks?

Hey Missouri your posts aren't an ad for super spelling either. Besides, Kevin was typing in English with a French accent. If his first language is French (and please correct me if I am wrong Kevin) then he does a much better job communicating his point in Engli***han you do.

this statement is so out of place its hard to give you a answer but ill try (if i can make sense of it) rotten tracks have nothing to do with braking. when a train serails its not in braking anyways. its in power the rails spread under the weight or when going around the curve who said a treaspasser had anything to do with it. Learn about railroading and the forces on the rail and how trainhandling is done then come back and have a decent discussion.

it was on the train newswire a reliable source.
unlike you one i trust. appparently you didn't take physics in high school.I don't have time to draw you a picture.but in this case i think youd be happy that no one was hurt or killed seeing that is what you post all the time because railroad people according to you are murderers etc. when they have a chance they do stop but most of the time the decisions made by others they only have a split second and trains can't stop on a dime.i hope this finally gets in your head that stop look listen and live does work.
until another time go back to mamma.

Jeff, you are absolutely correct... English with a french acccent.. i tried hard to correct all the spelling mistakes before i clicked post...

Joe- I don't see the corilation between rotten tracks and a trsspasser. The guy is lucky he's not dead. He was trespassing. end of story
