I work for Tacoma Rail. I know the exact route and the exact location that the trainwreck happened. It's on the capital division and the route is designed for freight only service.

huh
Jason Watson
yes
I see that, i'm telling you I work there and my bosses all say that the capital division is only used for freight service, nothing else.
this ain't a larp
I only work freight
apparently from the reports, too damn fast, before the track was upgraded, max speed was 15 mph, now it's 30 mph.
unlike places such as boeing that requires a badge/id to enter, Tacoma rail does not have that.

What do you think caused the derailment?
Have you heard of any fuckery like ISIS or Antifa?

It was the first day of the new track? Clearly it has something to do with the crash. Either Antifa concrete attack or lazy mexican railroad workers.
Kevin Walker
15-30mph? And they were going around 80? How does that work. Link to the track in question on a map since you are familiar with the area, trainanon

>and the route is designed for freight only service.
Fake ass shit. It got rebuilt into mixed traffic over the last few years and today was the opening run. GTFO kid.

>Multiple sources, including federal law enforcement, told NBC News that they are looking into the possibility that the train was speeding at 80 mph in a 30-mph zone.
This german report from 6 hours ago says 81 miles in an 80 mile zone:

That doesn't really mean anything. The rail that freight trains roll on is the same as the rail that passenger trains roll on.

Thank you for your insight. So is this what I should understand
>New high speed train crashes
>Revelations that object on track responsible
>Also revealed that ecoterrorists cement tracks
>But the ecoterrorists always call to inform, lest anyone get hurt
>But only freight tracks
Conclusion would be that somebody didn't know that it had become a passenger line, so they cemented the track and were planning on tipping off the railway authorities, but they didn't know that a train would be coming through when they least expected it.

Hello pretyy lady show Bob vagene
Blake Long
also to answer another question about possibility of antifa "do u have pics or video proving they were there?", I can say for sure that a couple of days ago when I was assigned to that route, I saw antifa members camping out, however due to railroad policies, no cameras of any form (video/pics) are allowed, only cellphones for emergency use. however the rest of my crew saw them as well, I contacted hq for reports, they didn't believe me.
antifa
yes, I hate antifa so much
no, it's been new since last year
it's southwest of DuPont, pic related is the location

>See flag.
It checks out perfectly on every level.
The only right thing is to finally declare these antifa thugs as terrorists, and gas the motherfucker who cemented the tracks to cause this incident.
They knew exactly what they intended. Or is blowing people up in flames when you press a button but did not intend to do so? Because you just wanted to make a point?
Antifa are terrorists.

>Defending terrorism
No, that you would not catch me doing, but I do recognize that some causes that lead to terrorism do not Allahu Akbar and then scatter themselves into a million pieces in a Christmas market.
Some for instance like ecoterrorists, who nearly exclusively take out their anger on machines.
Christian Williams
they haven't been turned on at this time
Ryder Davis
Did it need to be slowed down? I know on freight trains, when a train car derailed, typically the wheels stay on the track and the cars roll of their axels. Are passenger cars attached to their axels? Wheels being off the track might indicate a definite object on the track

it means that the route was intended for freight use, no passenger use
1. it's a process of trainorders and timetables involving who occupies what track at what time, either way it goes through a federal dispatcher. So most likely, it's the FRA (federal railroad administration)
2. involving local freight, there's a lot of them, all of them are trucking companies, and honestly I haven't the slightest clue. you can google map "local freight Tacoma" for an idea
no, even the new trains that I work with don't come with that tech
William Sanchez
That would require the rail companies investing in infrastructure beyond the barest minimum allowed; what do you think?

>electronic signals at this track
>even the new trains that I work with don't come with that tech
>That would require the rail companies investing in infrastructure
>The railway route had recently undergone a $181 million retrofit program in order to speed up passenger service that previously traveled away from the freeway and along the coast. Part of that retrofit was to include positive train control systems that can prevent dangerous situations such as excessive speed.
>Amtrak said the positive train control system had not been activated on the new route.

We're good with trains, maybe you should listen to us for once.

very high quality, guys been there for 20-30 years, yes we have big time track management team, yes we inspect the track as if it's class 1 even though we are class 3

Adam Reed
trainsim fag here,
That shit is crazy. Though once you get used to it it's not bad. All it does is hit the emergency brake if you don't acknowledge the warning, or slow below a set speed within a set amount of seconds.
In order to install it in the USA though, you would need to install "distant" signals to warn of an impending red, or else configure signals to have a double function.
Basically you would have to double the number of signals in the entire North American continent, completely change the theory by which trains are separated here, install all of these god damn magnets everywhere, and mod every locomotive in the country.
Remember, our freight trains can be 4x the length/weight of yours and go just a little bit slower.

Im a locomotive engineer for Amtrak on the Northeast corridor. They are literally shoving us through training as we have a bunch of guys who are out of service or slated to retire. This doesn't surprise me. I can't tell you how many diversity hires get pushed through the Norac signals and indications test. You're a freight conductor or engineer right? You know how it goes. They barely make it out of the rules department.

All of our signals are in progression. If I get a yellow over yellow or approach slow, I am preparing to stop at the next signal. You don't just go form a clear signal to a stop signal.
