>I backed a Amtrak train off the pier on the N&JC route. And what's so sad is that none of this would be major news if it happened to Slamtrak in real life! Just today, the Siver Meteor hit a truck and derailed down in Georgia. A Damntrak wreck just isn't news anymore. Sad really........Chris Denbow - Baltimore, MD

I was running a cajon pass activity that I made and I was an Amtrak heading through Palmdale and there was supposed a UP starting right as I went by and I set it up wrong and the UP appeared right inside of me and that was the end of that Amtrak }>

Nope I told him that some little dude named Robert LEarmont cut the signal wire, so I didn't get a red, and then slammed into the Amtrak. I'm out of trouble, but Robert, dude, look for the black SUV's to pull up at your door.

Well, that won't affect the switch, and they expect you to know the rules. Also, you stop when a signal is not on. If the wire broke (I seen derailed trains because of this cause), the signal would not run at all. One rule is to not go over the Max Allowable Speed.

Robert, do you have any idea what the hell you are talking about? Why do you think on track warrants there is a box marked"Protection Not Required Against Following Trains On The Same Track"Nobody switched tracks.

Were both partly right and partle wrong. You stop for a dark signal. You don't overspeed.

Still a limit distance(Does BNSF do it different?). I have read through the GCOR, BNSF gave me a test on it, I got them all right. Well, I give up. Apparently you know about the EAST railroads and I knou about the WEST(More trains). I forgot what they use to govern the rules out east. Will you please tell me what it is? Marias is in the west. Use the GCOR rules. Can't you see ahead of you!!!!!!!!?????????

Robert, it's a GAME. This was supposed to be a funny post since a majority of people here in the East have a bad opinion of Amtrak. If anybody here says they haven't had the desire to run into Amtrak on MSTS at least once they are lying. Bottom Line... My train was a priority intermodal, and Amturds needed to get the hell outta my way!

The back end of the amtrak train should have a placard that reads "baby on board". Then just smoke it off the tracks.Evil!}> Rory.

But I quit a few years ago when I heard of a death on a train accident. I don't find it funny anymore, and am qutie sensitive to accidents. especially R.R. accidents. I never derail (or purposely crash) anymore.

The only thing that is really different is terminology. I.E., a malfunctioning triple valve that sends the train into emergency when a service application is made is called a "kicker" in the east, while the same thing is called a "dynamiter".

RE: Bye Bye Amtrak

Peace y'all. I'm just a kid too, I have been inside of a P42 after my trip to Birmingham (it was a joy trip btw.) I have never driven a locomotive (well, 'cept for the time I was at Southeastern Railway Museum and they let me touch the brakes.) I love trains just like all of you here. My favorite railroad (I live in GA) is Amtrak.
Cheers!
