would be hard to believe only 4 people were injured if this is the case...

What this needs is more government regulation.

Waiting on more details to emerge. I will update the original post if more injuries are reported.

I think it's a slower train up there than what we saw in Philly over the summer. Hopefully that means we'll see fewer injuries.

I don't know too much about the statistics, but these damn Amtrak trains must be the safest mode of mass transportation ever created. It seems like the death are minimal every time one derails.

Fun fact of the day, Acadiana has a higher population than the entire state of Vermont.

I bet someone put a penny on the tracks. That'll derail them every time.

Trains are dangerous. Ban trains. It's the only solution.

Statistically, passenger train travel is very safe.

Another ignorant post. This happened here in Northfield, home of your basic blue collar working folks and Norwich University, birthplace of the ROTC and a conservative, military friendly university.
