The terrorists are confusing the traffic controllers for trains?

OK, I know trains crash and they have a worse record than planes in number of miles traveled. But, 3 crashes in 2 days? Hmmmmm

Are there any suggestions of terrorism yet due to this rash of train accidents? Or are these coincidences.

One feels a bit like when the second plane went into the second tower.

I believe they are attacking our rail system. Where's the Cabinet guy and Tom Ridge? Three this week? Please ping me with breaking news on this thread. Are these terrorists sabotaging our tracks and engineering our trains? Inquiring minds want to know.

Even with Amtrak's safety record this is highly unusual. I'm starting to wonder if some is sabotaging the tracks or trains.
