MSBAGilligFan Posted June 24, 2009 Share #26 Posted June 24, 2009 Right!! I couldnt think of exactly where it was..but yeah, that's the 1 I was referring 2.

Paul P Posted June 25, 2009 Share #29 Posted June 25, 2009 No down-talking of the operator that was in charge in the 2nd train, but if in that stretch of track the speed limit was 58 MPH, then it would be logical to apply e-brakes if the signals or ATO fails... she must have been "zoning out" or having a medical condition.

metsfan Posted June 25, 2009 Share #30 Posted June 25, 2009 This is the first deadly rail incident in about 5 years not caused by people. Makes the loss of the t/o even worse. She wasn't texting or asleep. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
