Also that was pure safety theatre. The approach speed into the curve from the west was lower than the overturn speed. If the engineer pegs the controller and runs a train up to 100 mph it will derail on just about any curve, but look at all the millions or billions of times this sort of accident hasn't happened. Rail safety hasn't been a real problem since the 1950's. PTC is chasing diminishing returns when the real problem is found on the roads. |
