AMTRAK train 55 derailed by a rock slide today.
Details on local TV WCAX.com
Not many photos online.
I’m trying to figure out if the lone Amtrak full dome was on this train as it is typically used in the region during fall color season.
Just Found Out
The full dome is being used on the Adirondack
Found more pics on a VERY(YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED) irritating web site of another local TV station, WPTZ.
Slide show, with MANY ADS to interrupt
WCAX TV just reported all injured have been released from the hospital.
Need to check on the crew member that was one crew member who was air-lifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon NH.
Back in 1984 another AMTRAK derailed and WCAX did a look back
Local newspaper The Burlington Free Press has some pics, too.
My local correspondent has not reported in yet:-(
May be due to local travel restrictions:-(
It would appear that they need a slide fence and signal system along that section of track. If I remember SP or Santa Fe had them on several sections of teh main line for this same reason, warning the train of a problem and also CTC. Paul
