Initially a Metrolink spokeswoman stated that it was their fault because the conductor blew through a red light on the tracks. She then resigned when her higher ups gave her flack for admitting liability too soon.

With respect to drivers and commuters texting while driving, there is no doubt in my mind that it should be made illegal not only to protect bikers, but to protect all motorist and pedestrians!

Don’t railroads have something similar to “Air Traffic Control” center?

I’m trying to get to talk to Jerry Ringler, who’s the attorney that helped get money for the last victims of Metrolink back in 2005. He’s got an article, http://www.rkallp.com/metrolink-disaster-lawyers.html, on his site, but I’d like more specific information.

Do they have these kinds of accidents in other places around the country? I’m from Chicago and I don’t remember anything like this happening… other than one of the “L” trains falling off the tracks above the Loop.
