Story reported as factual it seemed to my reading, without the usual reporter speculations.
Obviously (??) trains are not PTC or other stopping technology equipped. Will be interesting to read the NTSB report when released.

The POST reporting seemed pretty tame by current media "standards".

I know, was surprised and pleased with straight on reporting. Too bad today's reporting amounts to "run, sky's falling" mentality with a "report it now and correct errors later" mindset.
I agree . . . good reporting. The passenger who was interviewed was a bit dramatic, but, in a crowd, that's the kind of passenger that will catch the eye of the interviewer.
