The long time waterfront route was abandoned and changed to the freeway/military gut of Tacoma just today.

So freight trains would have more freedom to roll.

OMG that's bad. Sharing the tracks with freight is why we can't have high-speed rail. And now this...

Passengers shunted to secondary lines so that oil and coal can be transported in greater volumes.

Just so people know, the local hospitals are ready for this. I heard they've got 150 beds lined up at Madigan Hospital

Some of the guys on the broadcast are speculating (incorrectly). I live 3 miles from the scene. The train had been at 80 on the straight and the train derailment occurred just into the overpass. Commuters, who were trained in first aid and trauma, assisted train passengers.

man, spent 800million dollars and derail in the first mile of new track on the first day... way to go lol

You don't think it was terrorism?

why make that assumption, could of just as easily been track settling, or someone forgot a bolt on the brake switch... lol bad things happen, not always because of bad people

CNN IS reporting NO fatalities & fatalities on train. Which is it...DEATHS OR NO DEATHS on Amtrak train derailment?
-
I believe they are say no fatalities in the traffic below but multiple fatalities of train passengers

When a conversation manages to manifest itself into reality. Also a nice metaphor for the trump *dry heaves* presidency.
