Posted by Fine, Howard, and Fine on Fri Sep 30 10:44:42 2016, in response to Re: BREAKING: NJ TRANSIT Train Collides With Wall At Station In Hoboken, posted by Jersey Mike on Fri Sep 30 00:08:44 2016. Passengers are saying the train didn't slow down at all. Which may be an exaggeration. I'm sure if they took those switches at 25MPH it might've felt like a lot faster.10MPH would've damaged the bumping post and coupler at least some, but not have caused the mayhem seen in the pictures. In the famous CTA incident where the train ran up over the bumping post at the airport station, and then up the escalator, the NTSB quotes the speed at bumping post known to be 23MPH from event recorders. I think the speed in Hoboken's incident yesterday could've been similar or higher. If all the homeland security money spent on video surveillence didn't result in this incident being recorded on video, boy, I sure really hope somebody got fired for that blunder. |
