that would be an excellent place to start/.

One article that I found published On The Net on the 12th....quoted FBI guys as saying there was no Link TO Terrorism..which ordinarily means that the act so described was an act of terrorism...

I didnt find that article until this afternoon...

the claim was as far as I can determine not repeated in any other articles since. and I have looked for that denial...believe me.

this is one screwy scenario isnt it

I found some interesting links on the engine.

Amtrak ACS-64: Speed, power, efficiency

Amtrak Cities Sprinter ACS-64 Electric Locomotive (Siemens PDF)

Two significant takeaways from links are a maximum speed of 125mph and a time of 8 minutes to attain that speed.

it that was terrorism, it was pretty piss poor....only a few deaths...not the great fire ball that would shock he world...

and even the engineer was left to live...

if I was a terrorist, I guess I would make a better plan than try to sit in one spot silently and wait, wait, wait til just the exact moment I could get a shot off to hit the engineer....nearly impossible IMO from pics I have seen of the interior....
