Re: Amtrak Cascades 501 Derailment in Washington

Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Mon Dec 18 20:53:45 2017, in response to Re: Amtrak Cascades 501 Derailment in Washington, posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Mon Dec 18 20:42:15 2017.

My most hated newspaper, the NY Post reported earlier that the train may have hit something.

It would be "funny" if the culprit was a tree. Right away everybody in the media blames the engineer for speeding and Amtrak (really Sound Transit) for not having PTC up and running.

Same derailment philosophy at NYCT. Derailment = train operator was speeding. Guilty till proven innocent. Then when they find a broken rail or bad wheel there is no apology to the train operator!
