Oh my. Just can’t imagine MT being a hard place to navigate.
So sad. Pray for the riders.

Thank you. Daily Mail also is carrying it. Has some good pictures so far.
Thank you
Flatlands where the wreck occurred.
Buncha switches to all sorts of sidetracks though.
“”There are a lot of people in the little town with nowhere to go,” Schoeffling said.”
Really?
Amtrak - what a joke of a railroad .
I dispatched this call to the Montana Emergency Services when it broke. We (my part-time job) has clients in MT that we answer for after-hours.
All amtrak needs is a few more trillion dollars and windmills.
Leftists like to try to derail trains. Some women in Washington were sentenced for that recently. Wonder what caused this derailment.
It looks pretty flat and straight there.
Hopefully the bodycount stays at 3 dead.
I’ve been rereading Atlas Shrugged, and can’t help but wonder if we’re going to see a disaster on the scale of the derailment of the Taggart Comet in the near future.
