Not a backhoe. Some kind of Amtrak repair equipment and the two dead were in that.

I had a project that required heavy cranes crossing Amtrak tracks.
To say they were incompetent, is to understate it.

After meetings at their control center on S. Canal, their communications guy was no show!They had three or four observers, but the one with a radio to talk to the trains;no.

After two hours and 35 workers waiting he shows.

Half way in a light is spotted coming at us!!!

The radio guy is able to contact them, a machine that cleans the ballast; huge and sounds like the horns of hell.

They didn’t see it on the schedule!!!!

That can ruin your day.
