Posted by Chicagopcclcars on Sat Sep 13 15:36:53 2008, in response to Re: **Breaking News** - Metrolink Train collides with freight train, posted by Jersey Mike on Sat Sep 13 09:53:09 2008. Over on TO is a post much contrary to what you have been saying...to the effect that IT IS a daily procedure for train 111 to wait for the Leesdale freight at the CP outside of Chatsworth. You maybe need to rethink repeating "hit the Metrolink by running a freight."Here's the post: The Leesdale had a green signal out of C.P. Davis(East switch-Santa Susana siding - heading S.P.eastbound on into tunnel 26)after meeting an Amtrak Surfliner.(heard this signal called out on my scanner by the Leesdale) That effectively sets up the Leesdales routing on that green and 2 yellow signals up to C.P. Topanga(west switch Chatsworth siding). There is a signal on the hill between C.P. Davis and C.P. Topanga Eastbound signal post 442.6 - located at the east end of tunnel 26. I did not hear the Leesdale's signal call-out for 442.6 due to the hilly/rocky location. This eastbound signal should have been yellow for the Leesdale as well as the signal at C.P. Topanga, had the Leesdale made it that far. Usually the Leesdale would be lined into the siding at Chatsworth(C.P. Topanga)with the Metro 111 coming up the main after stopping at Chatsworth station. The 111 should have had a red signal at C.P. Topanga and stopped before the switch as in the daily routine. This info should be considered preliminary only and not misconstrued as anything else! My prayers go out to all the people involved here. P5r24 The post reproduced for convience to all. Jersey Milke, just how familiar are you personally with this trackage? Is it first hand as you have implied? David |
