The flacks are suggesting tweets . . . and some reporters are biting.

Let's see now; 6(27) will pass through here today; thanks for the heads up. Mr. Kisor.

However, as of a few moments ago, 6(27) is expected Naperville (NPV) 155ML. We all know what Mr. Murphy says about late trains, but I'll check back later and just might get the hind quarters trackside (800ft South of my house; clear view from my front yard during winter).

addendum 440P CT #6(27) is now 206ML.

From one of the comments:

"I just saw the #Amtrak Cities Sprinter fly off the tracks in my community! #Siemenslocomotive #Derailed #SameAsAboveButBurning #CharredBodies.

There. That about covers it."

Social media can be a powerful tool - to abuse. Wasn't there a (non-rail) incident recently that spread like wildfire, even catching out major news organizations, but was not true?
