Missouri Amtrak Derailment - June 27, 2022

While this incident is tragic, it turns out that Amtrak does not own the track it was running on as is the case with almost all of their lines. 

In a updated statement released by Amtrak today (6-28); "On June 27 at 12:42 p.m. CT, Southwest Chief Train 4, traveling eastbound on BNSF track from Los Angeles to Chicago, 8 cars and 2 locomotives derailed after striking a truck that was obstructing a public crossing near Mendon, Missouri." 

BNSF is the logo of Burlington Northern Santa Fe, a freight railroad. My guess is the legal burden will be on BNSF and the Missouri Department of Transportation, since they both allegedly knew about the danger for a while, in addition to multiple crossings in the same condition. 

Amtrak is merely a guest on the track when there is no freight scheduled for that window. Of course there will be a legal burden for the driver of the dump truck as well.

Yes... I'm still alive. 

Somehow I became distracted and stopped opening my big mouth in the form of commenting on everything in creation. I have returned, just don't know where yet. I'll try to keep you posted.

Yesterday, I received my Satechi TR-M Multi-Function Timer & Remote Control in the mail. I had been putting off making a purchase for a an intervalometer and remote for some time now. Always looking for something better, but never finding it. Well, at the end of August, I decided to bite the bullet and place an order for not the most expensive, and not the cheapest, but the one with the best reviews, the Satechi. I made the purchase on Amazon.com and I'm convinced I made the right product choice.
