They have not confirmed the claims that the engineer was texting anyone yet. The media put that out, without confirming any of it. If you read the whole thing, there was a similar incident in Chigao, where teens claimed to have been texting the engineer, which later came to be false!
Let the NTSB do their jobs, and then worry about placing blame.
Local government is wasting no time in placing blame. How about a little professionalism and let the NTSB investigate before you all throw the train crew to the wolves.

Who said it was a joke? The engineer loved his railfans. Everyone makes mistakes.
