Charm and I spent several days at the crash site, the high school and
memorials.? I spoke with the Metrolink folks as well as the news media and
first responders.? The investigation is continuing but here is what I do know.
It was the Metrolink engineer that was texting, NOT the freight train
engineer.? At this time, there is no evidence that the texting caused him to
miss the signal.? Although there was not an audible warning on the Metrolink
train, there is contstant communication between the dispatcher, conductor and
engineer.? In addition, the Metrolink train and the freight train frequently
pass each other at that very spot so the Engineer would know to be aware of
it.?
As Stormy said, it is still in the investigative stages.? There are some
concerns that the Engineer may have been incapacitated during the accident.?
Possible medical reason?? There are too many things that were missed for it to
just be the texting.? We won't know until the investigation is complete.?
However it turns out,?it sure is a good reason to ban texting while driving or
operating heavy machinery.?
