[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vincent206: [QB] There were many test runs on the tracks before the first passenger train operated. But adding 2 new roundtrips required expanding the roster of engineers and conductors and it appears that the engineer on this train lost situational awareness and derailed the train. The NTSB can check training records and determine if more time should have been spent on the territory or if there is enough signage to warn engineers about "Dead Man's Curve". The accident occurred before sunrise in rainy conditions. How much training was done in those conditions? PTC is scheduled to be activated on the line sometime in mid-2018. I don't think any of the Cascades tracks currently have PTC. [/QB][/QUOTE]
