Obama has a train and a rail.
Ahh..”casualty” can refer to either a fatality or an injury.

Well one of two things.
An engineer on drugs or the Religion of Peace at it again.
I can’t get this straight looking at FOX. They do not look like Amtrak cars, but maybe they have special cars outside the norm, or have they updated their paint scheme?
Also he keeps saying it’s a new line, but the bridge clearly has been there what with the vandalism on it. Amtrak also does not own any of its own lines outside the famed NE Corrider.
Maiden voyage of this Amtrak service.
For those on the east coast, I-5 is the west coast’s I-95.

Yes, but that ‘beats’ them ‘reporting(speculating) that scores were killed (gorier initial headline, longer they can milk it) — and gives them an opportunity to ask a ‘potential victim’ how it feels to be alive.
GOD, I hate these people....(I know, God & Hate in same sentence..but...’they’ have put me in that position)
This was the 1st day Amtrak’s high speed train on a very old Freight train track. This is just south of Ft Lewis near Dupont.
No, not Islam. Not nearly the right environment or MO.
Talk of truck on rails struck, which makes me wonder if it was running backwards to affect a middle car. Clearly the engine is not directly involved.
3 dead now according to reports. Pretty high profile place for a derailment. Makes me think goat humpers might be involved.

Amtrak Cascades service uses equipment painted in a dedicated paint scheme of brown, green and white.

Yikes
KOMO reporter says officials are saying no injuries of those on the ground. All reports of injuries are coming from those on in the train cars. [Numerous train cars derailed.]
No pun intended, but I-95 has always been a “train wreck.”
Pretty much.
Likely it’s last day too.
