[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] The Engineer, Brian Bostian, has had the criminal charges against him dropped: http://nypost.com/2017/09/12/amtrak-engineer-cleared-of-criminal-charges-in-deadly-derailment/ Fair Use: [i][list] [*]A judge Tuesday dismissed all criminal charges against the Amtrak engineer blamed in a train crash that killed eight outside Philadelphia in 2015. The ruling was delivered after a preliminary hearing for engineer Brandon Bostian, 34. Judge Thomas Gehret called the crash “more likely an accident than criminal negligence” in dismissing the charges. [/i] [/list] Hope nobody thinks that Mr. Bostian's life will be "back to normal" being "restored to service with seniority unimpaired but without payment for time lost". What discipline, if any, assessed by Amtrak is "sealed". Although I believe Mr. Bostian is a good man who wanted only to operate trains reliably and safely, no road under FRA jurisdiction will again afford him that opportunity. Maybe some railroad museum will allow him. [/QB][/QUOTE]
