<p>[quote user="Miningman"]What is put forth here by many is that Amtrak itself was grossly incompetent in training and certification,....and you think more government investigators and fixes can be trusted and are needed? [/quote]</p> <p>What I see here about Amtrak are accusations but no info about hiring, preoccupation, incomplete information about engineer's training on the bypass. Training on the slow freight route (before refurbishing) alone isn't a fault. I can remember that Formula 1 drivers inspected racetracks in slow vehicles to learn the course before they got into their racecars. If faster speed training was enough I don't know.</p> <p>So you may be right with your assumptions about Amtrak but I'll wait for the NTSB report before I jump to conclusions.</p> <p>[quote user="Miningman"]You are on the Road to Serfdom. [/quote]</p> <p>You allow that I laugh heartily? I'm glad we haven't developed a kind of paranoia toward our government and its agency yet.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
