GG1 4876, the locomotive involved in that accident, was one of the last GG1's retired in the early 1980's. It still exists in the B&O Museum collection although it is in pretty decrepit condition. Altoona Shops has had a reputation for being the best railroad back shop in the country for many generations. Most of the PRR's steam engines were actually built there although some were ordered from the commercial builders (mostly Baldwin in Eddystone, PA). A lot of repair and rebuilding of locomotives and cars still takes place at that facility which is nowadays owned and operated by Norfolk Southern. |

That accident was caused by an angle cock being accidentally closed on the third or fourth car causing the brakes on all the rear cars to fail. |

Correct, but once the direction is set by the reverser, the throttlc could be considered to be in the direction set by the reverser. |

It should be very long and elaborate with hydraulics, which I have seen elsewhere (forgot where, maybe Chicago Union).If the lead car is to absorb much rather than be the battering ram that it is, I assume via a crumple zone, then where does that go ? Obviously we do not want to crush the engineer's cab. The passenger compartment is immediately behind with seats. Do we leave 10' - 20' vacant behind the cab, and also put a long, fancy, loco-like nose on the cab cars ? We have no idea how fast it was going until the event recorders and black boxes are all analyzed. Unfortunately, NJT regards Hoboken as a backwater operation and does not invest as much as they should into it. |

Except I was speaking of it in isolation, which can certainly be done, as that is the conversation I chose to have. You pretended the conversation was something else and argued against a discussion that was never brought up - a sortof straw man argument.Funny thing is, I think we are both saying the same thing, but phrasing it differently. You are saying "We *can* have EU style cars if we change our infrastructure and practices to their style". I am saying "We can't have EU style cars with our current infrastructure in practices." Bottom line is, for the bumper block that was there, the railcar that hit it was the better variant. And as for the photo, again that is an EU bumper block, with EU train control systems, and there's no info on the speed. Irrelevant without further data. |

The impression I got from that was that it was going the standard terminal track speed, but never slowed down for the end of the platform.Anyone know which track it was yet? It seems to be either 3 or 5. If it is 3 there's no way it was going over 20 without someone wording their comment something like "it seemed to be going way too fast", since everyone would have been thrown about long before reaching the platform and *someone* would have grabbed the E-brake. |

The reverser in the locomotive would be set at neutral. The reverser in the cab controls the direction of the train.Is it not like the subway: only the control cab counts, the others are off. BNSF might have three or four locomotives in the front and another one or two at the ned. I assure you, nobody goes around touching those reversers. Nobody is in there setting the throttles. It is all part of the MU system. ROAR |

I got switches on my bathroom wall. Oun ton the railroad they *are* called points or perhaps a turnout if you are speaking of the entire construction.Model railroaders frequently make that distinction, since the also call DPDTs "switches". Now if I could only convince them to call their turnout controls "levers". ROAR |

If this was run-away train for whatever reason, the one or two "safety stops' would not have been done. It does not matter what the rules are at that point.When Amtrak backs into a stib station with a back-up hose, as in Chicago, they do make a safety stop. They have also rammed bumper blocks. |

Not one conductor, if there were more than one, has made a statement. And yes he/she could have and should have pulled the cord. Same with the MetroNorth incident. Don't these guys/ gals know their road? I can tell you, just after a few trips, the fast or slow zones on my daily commute, as could many of us here. We know when our train is approaching switches or a curve, for instance; a conductor should also. |

He may have been busy preparing to let the passengers off, so he didn't look outside the window to see if the train was going too fast into the station. If he realized they were moving too fast and weren't slowing down, it was probably too late to get to the emergency brakes. |

And that wheelbarrow is controlled by the reverser key or lever. Obviously there is a wheelbarrow in each locomotive and must be set to the locomotive fwd or rev independent of Train fwd or rev.Locomotives on BNSF face in both directions, but the train only moves in one direction. So the lead locomotive or the cab car says "ME IN CHARGE" Its my way or the highway. or something like that. All other controls are in neutral.

According to another engineer, the train had to slow for the interlocking outside HBKN. If it were going past the posted speed limit, there would have been a greater chance to derail. Sounds plausible.The conductor, along with the passengers, would at that time be prepping to leave the train. Just the feel of motion would have been an indicator that it was speeding up for some odd reason. Same with Spuyten Duyvil, I would think. meow |

Media keeps stating the engineer is cooperating, however hasn't made any statements or been interviewed. How is that cooperating? Serving tea and cookies to the investigators?Investigators probably have instructed the engineer as well as the conductor and trainmen that the incident is under investigation and not to go public and speak to the press.
