[/qb][/QUOTE]Nope. I just saw the photos of the passenger car blasted to pieces and assumed it took the direct impact. I've seen a lot of train wreck pictures and never saw that kind of damage in anything that didn't take a direct hit. [/qb][/QUOTE]You know, it wasn't until I took the time to read and study a day or two afterwards that I realized the locomotive was leading. The photo which made most of the news outlets did look rather like it had been a cab control car up front. I'm thinking that there will be some serious inquiry into the quality of Metrolinks rolling stock now......as in are the ends of the cars sturdy enough to withstand a collision and prevent 'telescoping'? Initial observation seems to suggest not. [/QB][/QUOTE]
