[quote user="Euclid"]But did he not pass milepost 19? Was there a milepost 19? If there was a milepost 19, and if the engineer saw it, he would have realized that he had missed milepost 18 and was ahead of where he thought he was. Therefore, spotting milepost 19 would have saved the day by telling the engineer to immediately start braking to reach 30 mph within the next 8/10th mile. So, milepost 19 was the most critical milepost of all. Yet, the NTSB did not say anything about asking the engineer whether he saw milepost 19. That is the mystery I am referring to.[/quote] As I said there is no mystery. When he said he mistook the signal at MP19.8 for one that was at best between MP17 and MP18 it should be clear to everyone that he didn't see MP19. At least it seemed to be clear to NTSB. If he had seen the MP19 he couldn't have mistaken the MP19.8 signal for one between MP17 and MP18. Why all the ifs? He clearly didn't see MP19. Regards, Volker
