Many apologies for misleading *cy* into really, really bad newspaper reporting! Yes it is ***'s failure to do better research. Train movements, and schedules (for Amtrak) must be re-read carefully, in order NOT to pass along misleading information.
Sorry again *cy*! Plus this:
The driver said she isn't from the area and was using a GPS system. She followed it onto the train tracks. (the perfect excuse)
Amtrak officials say the Amtrak Downeaster train was traveling from Portland, Maine, to Boston. There were 56 passengers aboard the train.
GPS kills many drivers every year, according to the USDOT

Uke's question as always, how in the hell do these people get drivers licenses? And who do they convince that they're a good enough driver to have insurance? And as always, WWJD? (What would Jeezuss do?)

Great question. So you think Jeezuss has time to think about who gets a drivers license?
Maybe not so much these days. Jeezuss is one very, very busy deity, what with all these thoughts, and prayers, petitioning Jeezuss to please intervene and help the poor victims!
But what about poor overworked Jeezuss? Nobody, especially them 'true-believers,' or real, very real, saved, reborn Kerstians having first pick on Jeezuss's time, and attention... They don't seem to give a schitt about Jeezuss! Not really! Nope!
