I agree. Let the NTSB do there job. What troubles me is the implication that train buffs (would that be you and me)may have caused the distraction. I tried to hire on with SP in the 70's three times . Each time I expressed how much I enjoyed railroading. Nothing happened. The fourth time all I said was I enjoyed traveling . I was hired. The point is there has always been a clear seperation between railroaders and buffs (foamers) Add in the notion that the engineer was gay and texting teenage boys . Well you know .........Its starting to sound ugly
