[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] While avoiding speculation with regards to the instant matter, there are many a case of an Engineer "forgetting where he was" and involving passenger trains. The most immediate coming to mind is the 1955 incident occurring on Jenkins' Curve at Bridgeport CT, on the New Haven. Occurring during wee hours and in fog conditions, a Westward train derailed, with the cause determined as excessive speed. There was no train control system beyond Automatic Block, let alone cab signals, and not even radio communications. The electric locomotive was written off, possibly because New Haven management desired to phase down electric operations. [/QB][/QUOTE]
