[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] The Wall Street Journal has posted at their site an article with further information. In essence, "the train and infrastructure are off the hook": http://www.wsj.com/articles/philadelphia-amtrak-derailment-investigators-rule-out-train-track-signals-as-causes-1454350232 Fair Use: [i][list] [*]Investigators probing the deadly Amtrak derailment in Philadelphia last May have ruled out issues with the locomotive, track or train signals as causes, an official with the National Transportation Safety Board said Monday. The NSTB released a trove of documents from its investigation on Monday. While the safety board didn’t identify a probable cause of the accident, the elimination of those factors appeared to winnow down the potential causes to the actions of the engineer behind the train’s controls. The NTSB official said investigators had twice interviewed the engineer, Brandon Bostian. The official described Mr. Bostian as “extremely cooperative.” The board is expected to formally declare a probable cause this spring.[/i] [/list] Regardless of what is contained within the Final Report, we must not lose sight that "Amtrak owns it", as distinct from immediately noted Tonti, where it can be said the IC owned that one. Of further interest; under then existing contractual relationships, IC assumed all liability arising from such. [/QB][/QUOTE]
