This one’s not Amtrak’s fault, AFAIK. Now if the engineer ran a stop signal, that’s another matter entirely.

CSX did have two trains on the same track at the same time. NTSB team probably there as I type, will sort it all through.

I’m seeing on rail enthusiast message boards much complaining about how the late Hunter Harrison & his “precision railroading” have seriously messed up the railroad.

The GOP is not Amtrak’s fault at all. Clearly one should never get on a track and sit there. Truck’s fault. Also human fault for not getting off the truck right away.
