Amtrak train crash in Philly - some observations
Author: mook
Date: 05-13-2015 - 12:14

"Over 100 mph" comes from AP timing views from a surveillance camera and determining that the train went by at 107 mph. No word from the black box yet and probably won't be for some time.

In other (hopefully unrelated) news, Congress blocked a move to provide Amtrak's full budget request: [www.sacbee.com]

Philly politician says there won't be any Amtrak service for at least a week. Will Congresscritters use this as an excuse to shut down Amtrak permanently?

Those who are crying about having to fly home from NY to Virginia ... unaware of Megabus and similar services? Amtrak may be the most popular service in that corridor, but it's not the only one.
