If you read carefully you realize that I responded to someone else with (in my opinion) a tendency to conspiracy theories. [quote user="243129"]So his loss of situational awareness "because his attention was diverted to an emergency situation with another train" is not reflective of poor training, poor vetting and poor supervision? [/quote] I see no reason to doubt the NTSB's final report. They don't mention poor vetting and poor supervision. About training see my posts above. I don't see a way to get through one's working life without making mistakes. [quote user="243129"]The task the engineer should be focused on is the safety of his train . That is primary. [/quote] Here I agree. [quote user="243129"]A well trained engineer would not allow himself to be distracted by something that does not affect his train. As far as being distracted by a projectile hitting your locomotive that is momentary. That would not distract a well trained, experienced engineer (read vetted) for the period Bostian was.[/quote] I think here you are wrong. The best trained person can make mistakes. If you really never made a mistake (which I doubt) you were very lucky. We have a saying in Germany: If someone  claims he never made mistakes he never worked. What you need in the locomotive with your expectations is a robot not an engineer. But herewith you seemto have even more problems: Regards, Volker
