The Railroad Consortium in the USA does not properly maintain it's rolling stock and their tracks, nor do they admit any culpability when these incidents occur.

They will calmly bribe, obfuscate, deny, and also murder when it suits them...they are not held accountable for their shameful disregard for safety and the prevention of such incidents

This incident is one more of many that will be blamed on mythical causes...as posted above several times, a rolling disconnect should cause immediate braking of the loose rolling stock...so in conclusion, place the blame where it truly belongs...on the railroad - the rolling stock - the sleeping driver. ! .

Of course the RR should bear first responsibility.

But this lax (crimminal) attitude sets trains up for terrorist use.

kemosabe, the railroad knows the cause. It is not "mythical". It real and provable. And, it is possible to have a "rolling disconnect" and not set the brakes. Of this I speak from hands on experience.
