This was the story when I awoke Monday morning.

Late evening news say this stretch of track

is 30-35mph coming off a 70mph approach

speed. I cant figger out what happened by

the ariel views. People that get paid well

will come up with answer.

Look in the chatbox Krink...I think our own Snippy and Pipes did a pretty good job of

fingering it out

Thanks for the reminder Calvin, I foget the chatbox is much like a
"tweet-box" and an event like this would have all us rails trying
to figure it as the news comes forth. Wondering why after 2 days
that the head-end crew havent offered up an esplanation yet.
I've heard of some "real malfunctions" of the locomotive from
early reports of the "black-box" info. Mysterious loss of air and
mysterious speed approaching a known 30mph curve. Maybe
tomorrow it will all make sense.

Falling asleep at 82 mph before the next stop... Grand
Central Station has to be the worst day ever on
the job.
