Posted by Train Dude on Wed Jun 24 02:16:09 2020, in response to Re: 1957: the trains you could see on every line, posted by Edwards! on Wed Jun 24 01:10:11 2020. That's not correct. I was one of the first managers on the scene that Friday night. The train was preceding normally onto D1 track to relay. The train operator was operating at about 10 MPH through the switches and down grade. At some point, it was believed that the operator slumped forward on the console, either because of a stroke or heart attack and pushed the master controller into multiple. The train hit the bumping block at about 30-35 MPH. The cab of Car #1054 was pushed back approximately 8 feet due to the momentum of the 7 cars behind it. Car #1054 and 941 were damaged beyond repair but the other 6 cars were moved to Jamaica Yard under their own power. There was no Wayside Regulated mode in use. |
