    Something else that was mentioned is that due to CSX adopting PSR, one of the ways they cut costs was starting the practice of furloughing a bunch of their employees, INCLUDING THE DRUG AND ALCHOHOL TESTERS. So not only did the engineer himself fail to show up to the scheduled tests, but there were also less testers available to handle him and all the other engineers and conductors on the railroad!!

    This reminds me of some of the stories I've been told by old New Haven guys about five man crews and the only one sober enough to prop the engineer up to leave the yard at the beginning of the shift was the junior member. Because he wasn't an alcoholic yet.

      @@jlwalker2965 No, the legal limit here is 0.04%, so the guy was 20 times over it.
      0.4% is the LD50 (AFAIK), it means that there is 50% chance you will die when you drink that much alcohol. However, different people have different tolerances, someone may die from less alcohol and someone can drink double that and still be conscious and somewhat able to drive a car.

  • @davidwhiting1761
    @davidwhiting1761 Рік тому +33

    I went and read about this collision on the NTSB's website. What makes things worse for the engineer is that in post-wreck testing not only did they find a high blood alcohol level but they also found marijuana in his blood, but were not able to conclude as to whether or not marijuana contributed much to the accident. So not only was the engineer drunk but he was probably stoned off his rocker, too. Nah, if he didn't get suspended for a while he definitely got fired after the accident.

    I have lived in Ohio for 16 years, and I can confirm that this state is pretty boring, except for Northern and Southern Ohio. Those areas are nice. However, it isn't boring when it comes to trains, as we're a pretty big crossroads state, with a lot of good and well-known railfanning spots. But, the traffic, especially in Marion, is often hit or miss.

They used to be notorious for not useing stabilizer pads and the outriggers would crinkle roads. and the work they did would need to be fixed soon after installed or they would destroy stuff as they rushed working.

But Live stock cars were used all the way until early 1980s out lived the caboose by a few years. They no longer transport animals in bulk by rail anymore no need cattle drive from texas north to transcontinental to ship east to be killed when there are so many slaughter across the nation now its cheaper to use trucks and ship by rail in refer cars as steak and milk. .

    The next time that you do citation needed you should do East Broad Top railroad number 18 or the Strasburg railroad 475 and the excavator at Paradise Pa.

    Why didn't PTC prevent this crash (my guess? Super train had something go wrong mechanically and blew up. ((Before seeing story)))
    Edit: Oh it's two trains. New guess is picked a switch in a crossover.
    Double edit: I still say Layton was right. It was PSR. Profit over safety.
    Triple edit: wow. I was way off. Dude was hammered!
