An Amtrak passenger train collided with a freight train in South Carolina early Sunday morning, causing injuries, the national passenger railroad service said. Amtrak said in a statement, "Amtrak Train 91, operating between New York and Miami, came in contact with a CSX freight train at around 2:35 am in Cayce, South Carolina." The statement continued, "The lead engine derailed, as well as some passenger cars. There were 8 crew members and approximately 139 passengers, with injuries reported. Local authorities are on the scene responding. More information will be provided as available."

Ping!
So they’ve already identified the engineers? I’m still waiting for them to identity the engineer in the DuPont derailment.
Or drugged up union employees.
The Philly investigation caused me to wonder. And I am greatly concerned. If anyone in Congress gives a damn, they need to issue an ultimatum: Trump gets his guy, or NTSB goes under the scope.
I was looking at the lead freight engine and it appears that king kong stomped down the top surfaces of that engine.I think the freight was stopped(in the hole) and amtrak was moving because the pigs(car haulers) right behind the freight engine are still on the rails with no damage.Looks to me that amtrak climbed up over the lead freight and rolled over to the left.Need to look at more pics.
thanks
pics confirm your sideswipe theory.
Track alignment and perhaps new tier3(?) engine radiator design ??
Schumer has blood on his hands.
I’m thinking the Amtrak engineer didn’t get his train completely onto the spur to allow the freight to pass. I hate to see this as I really do enjoy traveling by train across America.
Who was on that train?
I was just on this train a couple of weeks ago, big delay in SC, at around the same time as this accident...something about “problem with the switches”
Unless the blame can be put on white Republican males, don’t expect any details from the media on who was responsible for the accident.
As a railfan, I have to say that the Boondoggle called PennCentral, should not include the New Haven. The Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge was a major freight line into New England, but PC didn’t need it. Now it is a railtrail and Freight railroads (CSX and NorfolkSouthern) and Amtrak are looking to make a new line into NY City. The Poughkeepsie bridge should be used...oh well, not anymore.
This looks head on - look at the lead CSX cab! That was no sideswipe. Amtrak is another FP42 like last week - the front of that thing is flat now...had to be head on.
Walked that bridge several times
great views!
You see they are bringing back car ferries?
Nice to see there are some ‘train geeks’ on FR
WG where are you
Lain???
The crash in Washington was most likely Antifa, the crash in Crozet VA carrying the GOP Congressional delegation and their families to Greenbrier Hotel (bunker) was almost certainly an assassination attempt (most likely Deep State, but possibly Antifa), the one in SC very well may have been a false flag attack given that it would appear that both the Amtrak train and the CSX train were on the same track headed in opposite directions (something that SHOULD NOT HAPPEN given that the rail controls are computerized).
QAnon has been saying that more false flag attacks from Deep State were in the planning.
The trains were on separate tracks
Democrats? You mean the Party of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, the Ku Klux Klan, voter fraud, illegal immigration, rape, perjury, obstruction of justice, sexual assault, desecration of the US flag, abortion, sexual perversion, weaponization of America's most trusted institutions against US citizens, totalitarianism, propaganda, crime, coups d'état, death threats, Arkancide, assassination, murder, sabotage ...?
All pictures I have seen are way too close.Have you seen a view from higher up?
What do you mean by “false flag”?
