One of the blue trimmed cars (did not get the number) was shown to have some considerable batter damage all along one side, with all windows out. No body penetration or deformation, but abrasion the entire length of the car, with a gash just above the bottom of the carbody. I thought I saw one of the cars with a 63xx number; not sure as the clip went by in the blink of an eye. 6440 I am sure of.wayne |

Oh no, not one of those!! ....I have an interest in ships too, this is a lousy safety device. I've seen them jammed in the harbour bottom and the ship takes two hours to wiggle it out. Or I've read of four hours to cut the chain with a flaky torch. Then there is the joy of being on the bridge going through a narrow spot on a freighter and the rust cloud up forward suggests the anchor winch has forgotten its grip and the anchor is suddenly going the opposite direction in a hurry. The captain who relayed that story greatly appreciated his Polish engineers who were able to bring the ship to a stop before his bow got ripped out. British Petroleum even started tying off their anchor chains with bailing wire because losing the anchor and the chain cost less than repairing the rip in the chain locker bulkhead from a shackled chain being torn out.In the hands of landlubbers this is a horrible solution, go back to open floorboards and thick soles on the engineer's shoes. Please! Bill |

That's not something to celebrate.If it were to come out that he was under the influence while on the job -- then, sure, rip him to shreds and charge him as a criminal. If he's just a guy who screwed up by being 12 MPH over MAS and also losing track of where he was then I'd go a bit easy on the crucifixion. |

How smart is it to have a posted speed limit of 70 MPH followed by 30 MPH? There should be a gradual reduction in posted speed, especially in advance of a curve. 70, 55, 40, 30 MPH. |

There seems to be no enforcement of speed limits on MN that differs from the Garden State Pkwy. Posted speeds would mean nothing. Unlike the LIRR, there seems to be no ASC except to prevent collisions or taking diverging routes.What happens when Amtrak approaches this area for the Empire Line - Are they forced to slow down ?. |

It's hard to imagine him losing track of where he was. He didn't forget to stop for all his scheduled stations. Also, if he was deliberately speeding to have more time to go Christmas shopping or soemthing, he would probably have been paying extra close attention.I just don't see any obvious explanation other than falling asleep. |

Why?On a highway with speed limit 70, an exit ramp may say Exit Speed 30. Everyone knows you can't wait until the last second to slow down. It would be different if there were automatic equipemnt that forced a gradual slowdown if the engineer failed to do it, but there isn't, at the moment. |

Difference being switching off onto the Empire Line may be regarded as a diverging route, therefore system enforces speed limit. That's why I asked the question. |

I figured that as soon as I heard about the accident. As tragic as it was I honestly don't think it warrants any criminal charges and feel bad for him. It's an accident. Unfortunately it's going to be handled by the Bronx DA and I feel he's going to go for blood because of all the publicity, just like that bus driver last year. |

That still may not have been enough if he was in deep sleep or if it was intentional. Remember the train crash of Amagasaki some years back. That line had a similar system without automatic train control (Automatic Train Protection in the US, or Positive Train Control, handling not just BIEs but speed control.Oh now they are saying on NY1 that he fell asleep, heard the warning and applied the BIE, but it was too late. We might see full ATP/PTC in the region sooner than the mandate. |

On the LIRR, you got 3 seconds to respond, or the the train dumps. (Obviously it can happen on a Greenport or Montauk train out east).Just as well they had to get off the Lower Montauk. If that were so here, that would have happened way back as you got past 70MPH. |

If the posed speed were electrically enforced, 70 would step down to 60, 40, and 30 across 3 signal blocks back. In that mileage, the train would have dumped well before the curve. |
