I spent over a month, analyzing every available photo of the Crozet AMTRAK-Trash Truck collision.
Its cause was simply a marihuana-addled truck driver who tried to make an end-run around the crossing gates -- but stopped (with the rear loader bucket still barely on the tracks) -- when he encountered a mailbox on a big steel post.
No "conspiracy" was involved -- just stupidity.
I can back that statement up with photographic evidence.
