I've rode the Super Chief before, it's beautiful. This is terrible.

Trump’s fault.

The collision occurred at the uncontrolled Porch Prairie Avenue gravel road crossing, which has no electronic warning devices or gates, officials said.

This had better change fast.

I was on Amtrak Auto Rail out of Lorton Vriginia to Florida - ready for departure when one of the cars left the track (derailed) as soon as we started. ook hours getting that car back on the track. I can’t imagine what it was like for those people ....it was enough to know something was wrong let alone completely derail!

[sushiman]

Amtrak is a joke compared to high speed rail in countries like China and Japan .

[Jonty30]

Unless this track goes around the bend, the fault lies with the truck driver. If you can see a train a mile away, stop.

“Transportation Sec Pete”. Makes me ill to see its name in such a position

This is why we’ll never have many miles of high-speed rail — operation at over 90 mph requires complete grade separation of railways and roadways.

A high-speed train hitting a dump truck at 250 mph would not be a good thing.

[Ouderkirk]

I have long argued that passenger service should be on elevated tracks. There should be no “at grade” crossings.

Anything suspicious about the autopsies of any of the dead, like, this injury was not from a train wreck?

[Vaduz]

It was beautiful when Santa Fe owned it after Amtrak took it over now it’s dirty and late or broke down they haven’t mad a profit from day one now it’s government bail out program.

Wish Santa Fe would take it back

[DoodleDawg]

Four dead. Three on the train and one in the dump truck.
