I replied to Euclid's proposition that the engineer knew he was lost but didn't react accordingly. The extract from the NTSF press release shows, in my opinion, he realized it only at the curve. Thats all I wanted to show. That it shouldn't have happened is no question. Interesting are the reasons why it happened to him. Hopefully we will  get them with NTSB's final report if ever. Add to Overmod's description of the engineer's inexperience the brand new locomotive. How familiar was he with beyond the essential. New equipment tends produce alarms which often are meaningless. Nevertheless they can distract. Just one example for distracting event. Has it happened? It might but without knowledge it is speculation. Regards, Volker
