They have pretty much painted a bulls eye on themselves.

Think the next time they try it the engineer will stop?

What was their point? They just decided to beat up an engineer? There seems to be something missing in this story.

OK.

Motive? Speaking truth to power? Putting an end to the evil railroad barons? Carbon offset strategy?

What “group of people”?
What did the police say?
Why did the train stop and why was the “group” blocking it’s way?

Another fine product from the rainbow branch of the MSM.

I don't get it.

The article doesn't even speculate about motive, and group of people is about as vague as you can get.

For all the information I took away from this story, the reporter might just as well have said "something happened in West Sacremento".

Just doing the assaults and batteries that Americans don’t want to do.

A group of people did stuff to other people. The end.

This looks like a job for the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

Is this related to a recent trestle fire on that route? Are there people who want to shut down trains in Northern California for some political purpose?

I just emailed Michael Cabanatuan, the author of blurb with questions about this ‘find the missing puzzle piece’.

No doubt that Amtrak Management will leap--Leap I Say !--into rapid action in concert with local Officials and Authorities to protect their employees from future attacks.

San Francisco and Sacramento journalists will be standing by to convert the resultant press handouts into news copy.

There, problem solved.

The words “group of people” deliberately hide something. I’d like to know what.

Former friends of the engineer?

In the Soclialist tongue "A group of people" should translate to English as "barbarians"?

The engineer of an Amtrak Capitol Corridor train was seriously injured Monday night in West Sacramento after a group of people forced the train to stop...

A group of people stood on the tracks to block the train...
