I could not scroll to find one of the relevant threads to update.    I encourage those with proper browser support to paste the link there.

Here is the page with the released docket information, which contains over 3100 pages of data concerning the accident.

Thirty one hundred pages of data?  I might have looked at this report with interest but it they can't get to the point quickly or put out at least a Cliff's Notes edition forget it, I've got better things to do.

As Abe Lincoln once put it:

"When I send a man to inspect a horse I'm thinking of buying I just want to know the points, not how many hairs are in the mane and tail!"

One reason for the large number of pages is that there are numerous documents filed in that docket that serve merely as background data for the route where this occurred. Stuff like train counts, tonnage, track charts, employee timetable, etc.

Other documents deal with conditions of the track, wheels, PTC, etc., at the time of the accident.

If anyone chooses to read through just a handful of the documents, I highly recommend the crew member interviews. Go here, and scroll down to items 99 thru 102:

If you can't impress them with your brilliance, baffle them with your BS - in mass quantities.
