I didn’t take it personally. We all want answers and facts. Not likely to get them any time soon. I don’t understand why they haven’t released the name of the engineer. Why does he/she get special protection?
I really miss investigative reporters.
They are probably not releasing the name of the engineer because they don’t want him opening his big mouth before they all get their stories straight.
This entire situation is more complicated than I have made it sound. It never really was about saving 70 people 4 minutes 5 times a day. That is just a lie they have repeatedly told the public.
The Amtrak Cascades is actually run by the State of Washington and Oregon and Amtrak is their contractor. Despite subsidizing passenger fares by 2 to 1, meaning that the State of Oregon and Washington pay $2 for every $1 that a passenger pays, the Amtrak Cascades still loses $250 Million dollars every year not including capital expenditures.
Nationwide publicly owned passenger rail projects are basically always huge money pits. This makes them ripe for the picking when it comes to political cronyism. It is a big scam that the left is hugely dependent on in many cases. Sound Transit was recently voted an additional $50 Billion dollars which by the notes are due will easily balloon into two or three times that amount.
There is so much money involved that unusual behavior and situations that cannot be explained occur because of behind the scenes deals and arrangements. This is government at its very worst... which is the result of a very easily manipulated liberal electorate on the Western side of Washington.
this kind of money can manipulate the truth so badly that one would swear the Clintons were involved.
