Trying to understand this accident in Feb with Amtrak train diverted to siding with two deaths of engineer and conductor. Simple negligence? Shortage of crew? Operational protocol or rules issue? Is there a "missing piece" to this accident?

Please,,,,,,,,,,,lets just wait for the NTSP investigation to be completed, and the appropriate report to be issued. There has already been WAY TOO MUCH SPECULATION about this disaster.
The missing piece is key, to coin a pun.

OH I thought it was to "lime a pie"
Like most accidents, an unfortunate combination of events cause it. Why would you post a title that sounds like an assumption?
Your can go to the NTSB.gov website and obtain the FACTS. Here is a link to the preliminary report by the NTSB.
There's a whole pile of human error in this incident.
Thanx Moonman.
