Ping to two more head-on collisions...at or near train stations/switching centers.

If Spain finds out terrorists did it again, will they resort to feet kissing? I don`t think you can surrender to the same enemy twice can you? Maybe they should ask the experts their French neighbors, who probably advised them on that first surrender. "You vote le conservative out of le office and immediately toss up le hands in surrender."

And for good reason.

It was a trolley, not a train!

Texas too, from Google news just now:

One killed as trains collide near Gunter McKinney Courier Gazette, TX - 20 minutes ago GUNTER (AP) - Two trains have collided head-on, killing an engineer and injuring four other crew members in a fiery wreck that derailed almost two dozen ...

I hypothesized on an earlier thread that the remote sensing device found in the railbed in Philadelphia last night could have been a trigger to throw a switch down the line a short distance.

There have been two head-ons in Texas this month, one at least in New York, and now two in Europe.

Coincidence?

Given the use of trains (albeit with explosives) in Spain? Perhaps not.

Another point...explosives are not easy to carry around in the U.S. Why worry about 50 pounds of TNT when you can use the combined explosive force of 4-8 Diesel Locomotives?

Trains just won't stay on the tracks.

2 ran together head to head in north TX yesterday, and someone posted that a train derailed in Alamogordo (NM?) this morning.

Are these routes planned by computers? If so, it seems a little strange that all these train are colliding around the world. Could a terrorist computer geek be responsible?

The cause of the collision was not immediately clear.

Didn't someone find an infra red device attached to the tracks on a NY-DC train line this week? The only way that I know that you can have a head on train collision is for someone to mess with the switches (remotely?) and put one of the trains on the wrong track. Is it possible that this is practice for a new wave of terror?
