Several individuals should

Several individuals should lose their employment, in age of instant communication GPS and electronic tracking, there's no way this should have occurred.

Have you forgotten this is Amtrak??

Sure they probably had all of those safety measures but they have long stopped working. It's each man for themselves now.

Have you forgotten?

Amtrak is a separate entity.

There's plenty of blame to shed onto The T, but not this.

Corrected Thank you

Basically the same thing as they share the same tracks.

When did Amtrak become part of the T?
