Amtrak crashes into CSX

[trainboy4024]

That was a Norfolk Southern Train.

[MrZkr123]

imagine trying to explain that to your boss. "The other train just magically appeared, I swear."

[ItalianBlackheart123]

What is a passenger train going in a rough area like a freight train yard??? The passenger train is to pussy for that kind of stuff lol

[Boss302fan]

@pheonixredfire Hey Phoenix! Stop accusing poor gearedsteem12 of being me. LOL. I promise you I am my own know it all bully. Don't need gearedsteam's help.

Personally I'll never learn to STFU when it comes to correcting idiots such as yourself who think using the word 'fuck' makes you all grown up.

Jesus, what grade were you in when you dropped out of school. Are you really this ignorant? LOL.

[acelafan123]

i thought it was a norfolk southern but ur close (kinda)

[johnyboy087]

i heard that was Norfolk Southern not CSX

[XDared45X]

I remember when this happened

I think it was overspeed, too.

[manlyday]

That's the problem of the dispatcher

[ctfd4106]

Thick before you post this crash took place in the NS yard outside of Chicago

[gearedsteam12]

Are you sure it s the worst train company ever?

LOL who owns Amtrack.

Your dumb, and on the internet, sad.

[George21T]

lol why did you write to me about my comment when it doesnt mean any thing to me . =) bad grammar.

[gearedsteam12]

It should mean something because you appear ignorant when you comment on something you have no clue about.

You didn't answer the question, what "company" owns Amtrak?

Comment on things youre knowledgeable about, if that's possible.

"LOL"

[muirland16]

why did the two trains hit in the first place?

[superduty7979]

sheer boredom

[BTCRAIL101FILMS]

@muirland16 because of bad tracking. They should have told the Amtrak to slow down or stop before going into the yard. Ether that or the enginer didnt see the single to "stop"...

[flexspinner]

one way to stop a train

[SR722]

I think a certain dispatcher might have a little explaining to do....

[muirland16]

The problem it that NS has its own signals, red over yellow on NS is a restricting signal (proceed at a speed that allows stopping within half the range of vision short of a stop signal, train, track employee, or any type of dangerous condition)

[muirland16]

On CSX witch that Amtrak service also uses Red over yellow is a Diverging approach (proceed on diverging route not exceeding prescribed speed through turnout; approach next signal preparing to stop, if exceeding 30mph immediately reduce to that speed. speed for Amtrak and commuter trains is 40) the signal was taken as a diverging approach not a restricting thus this nice crash ! -Engineer-

[DDaviddd]

why do you guys all like trains so much?

[Torpedo423]

Its just what we do! We like trains for our reasons and you like what you like for your own reasons!

[kgcwhazup]

that left a Big Ouch Better get Mako

[trainmaster844]

Amtrak can fix it... they have their own repair shops.

[jackroyfan33]

Yeah, in Beech Grove Indiana

[Caltrain927]

Hey, that's a Norfolk Southern Train that the Amtrak crashed into.

[tonimtions]

no, its a csx refer.

[Caltrain927]

It's a CSX reefer on a Norfolk Southern Train. The train that it collided with was a Norfolk Southern train.

[Caltrain927]

Hey, that's a Norfolk Southern Train that the Amtrak crashed into.

[NsRailfan083]

I dont think CSX runs too many intermodal NS does most

[railmogul2]

IT WAS NS, NOT CSX!!!

[tjm6515]

Preliminary indications are the engineer mistook a restricting (high yellow over red) for an approach (yellow over red) and was doing 35 MPH when the colision occured, 20 MPH over the speed limit and failing to look for and obstruction ahead (this case a stopped train).

[jackroyfan33]

Actually in the incident report, the cause was blamed on the dispatcher switching the Amtrak train onto the wrong track.

[Boss302fan]

@jackroyfan33 No. You are wrong.

[NSCORP]

Murjax you are correct. It was an NS frieght. This happened on NS's Chicago Line. The intermodal frieght had just started to proceed into yard when Amtrak 371 hit it from behind. NTSB is still looking for cause.

[IAmAVeryFatMan]

ouch. whiplash, any1?

[murjax]

I believe it crashed into a NS train. Not CSX. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
