Re: AMTRAK DERAILED !!!!!!!!
So far none of the Detroit tv stations have said anything or doing any live shots. Still looking...WLNS.com reports the dining car on its side w/the engine also sideways.

Hope it was not Lee. Most reports saying just injuries.

Re: AMTRAK DERAILED !!!!!!!!
Glad to know that it might just be all injuries and that no one was killed.

Re: AMTRAK DERAILED !!!!!!!!
Is this still NS owned track. Given a normal situation, tracks should be fixed by late late tonight night/tommrow morning. Not for normal speed mind you, but back to where people can pass. You figure it will be 16:00 to 18:00 by the time the investagation is over, then rerail the loco and cars that should be done by around 21:00-23:00 and then another 4 hours to put the track back in and ballast it and tamp it, so around 03:00 to 05:00. So I would guess between 00:01 and 05:00, depending on how long the investigation takes.YpsiAmtrakBoy wrote:How fast will NS reaper this track and how fast was the train going? and this is the second crash in as many days...
