“I concur.

I concur ... The gallows is built ... the Sheriff said, "boy, I'm gonna watch you die!" but I've got two more minutes to go and the buzzards say, "No More Minutes to Go!"

[hoosiermama]

Guest on fox explaining that speed of train should have been controlled by technology. ??? Didn’t say if engineer could override it — like in a certain airplane

[the OlLine Rebel]

No, only to New Haven, CT. All trains NW to Boston have to change at New Haven to diesel.

FART!

NE (northEAST) to Boston....

Makes me wonder if it was some kind of electronic projectile that went off later.

Mussel and Blood ... One morning the ‘straw boss’ says ‘bless my soul’ ... 16 tons .. Saint Peter don’t call me yet, please!

Depends what neighbor-hood the train was passing when the projectile hit.

Hood rats always poppin 9’s off at random targets.

Joe Bean has never heard of him ... See where the gallows stand ....?

[no-to-illegals]

but remember ‘it’s not terrorist related’ ....

[MeshugeMikey]

Maybe it was one of those new GOOGLE self driving Trains....?

Specs indicated 8600 peak HP which would tend to indicate a heavy gvw to get the traction. No Diesel would make it lighter but could also get to a lower CoG. I was surprised that the locos went scooting through downtown Lac Magentic while the tankers didn't.

The radio sounds like the currrent theory is excessive speed so cornering capability of the loco design compared to other designs would be of interest..

"Mussel and Blood "

Is that something like Fishheads and Rice?

[MeshugeMikey]

Amish yout....you know..WINK WINK...snort snort

[MeshugeMikey]

thats a strong likelihood...or a stolen Mercedes Hood Ornament...

[no-to-illegals]

or walking down the street ... It come upon ‘Hell-o’ and it holds it’s head so high ....

[Paladin2]

Sounds like it was only a couple of years old.

[no-to-illegals]

Bows and accolade's of setting this night on fire ...
