Looks like you already know the cause of the wreck...And don't take anything railfans do in terms of "shrines" to seriously, THEY probably feel guilty too. And I am thinking that if the switch was set against the metrolink, wouldn't the driver have noticed it? Wouldn't he have felt a BIG BUMP? Also, if the speed limit in that area was 40, He shouldn't have been going that quickly, since the signals leading up to it would have required him to slow down. Think about it... Unless he bypassed all the signals leading up to the red one, he should have been going 20 MPH MAX. And reading about this guy, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT he would pass a home signal without really checking it...the stuff just doesn't add up, sorry. For all we know, he sent the text messages while at a station stop. |
