It’s a thread about a train wreck with jokes about trains wrecking.

Get with the program, junior.

That's probably the only silver lining...EMD was able to get there super fast since they're only a couple miles away.

I feel sorry for the injured who have to go to those flu infested hospitals.

Sounds like the CSX train ran a red signal.

The CSX train was reportedly parked on a side track and the Amtrack train was on the wrong track and ran into it. The 2 fatalities were Amtrack workers.

In this day of technology how is it possible for trains to collide. This is not a sarcastic post, I just figured there would be some sort of system that alerts (and possibly activates the breaks) if two trains are on the same track/path).

I’m a pilot and even in small planes we have transponders and TCAS that lets you know a traffic collision is imminent.

Damn that’s in Richland County. LivePD would’ve been lit if they were still on air at 2AM.

You could ask the same of our Navy ships.

There was another derailment outside New Roads, LA about a month ago.

Seems like it is a thread about people dying because of a accidental train wreck ....if you value life more than a transportation vehicle.
