[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] The Associated Press is one of the more valued newssources with regards to railroad industry affairs. The material located by Mr. DMW is certainly indicative of that. Here is Los Angeles Times coverage of the incident including video from the AP: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-nevada-train-crash-20110626,0,4724347.story I'm sorry, volks, but it is simply astounding, given that all conditions - weather, visibility, signals, (reportedly) equipment - were optimal that "the system' issues Commercial Driver Licenses' to persons capable of such negligence. It is difficult to dismiss that, at some point during the chain of events, this represented an intentional act. I normally avoid the "hearts and flowers drill" prevalent at many a site after such an incident occurs, but in this instance, the message within the material Mr. Kisor posted to originate this topic, rings so true. Over at another site at which serveral here participate, there are Amtrak Passenger Engineers having seniority within that Zone and that regularly handle 5-6. Obviously "they're OK", but one of their Conductor colleagues is, I'm afraid, not. That Dorm 39013 and Coach 34033 WILL be written off is simply not of consequence. [/QB][/QUOTE]
