A Metra engineer has been suspended without pay after he sped through the South Side site of a
recent fatal train derailment during an afternoon rush hour last week, causing passengers to file
complaints, a Metra spokeswoman said. <<<<<<
I had to read this 3 times.
The engineer who was driving the train in the fatal accident, said he was following the signals.
The reports said he was speeding.
Now you have another in the same spot, doing the same thing.
I don't know how the electronics on signals work, but I have found the signal boxes miles from people.
My first rockhound book, had a railroad site listed as a good source for collectible rocks, they had been used on the rail bed.
Plus there are usually roads along side of the tracks.
I'm keeping my eye on the Chicago area Metra incidents.
Quite strange, for sure!
