[CBQ] Naperville Wreck

["soocarman" <mitchc2@juno.com>]

  My best friends dad was the signal maintainer for that stretch of 
track.  He said that the biggest factor was the trains were ignoring 
the signal because they knew that the train ahead of them was going to 
clear the block so why slow down.  I think the ICC ordered the 
Burlington to space out the trains more to avoid this from happening 
again.
   So is seems to me even if the NP car had the proper emergency light 
on it. If the train that piled into it had not gone to restricted 
speed or reduced speed this might still have happened.  I was told a 
long time ago that there was blood shed for every rule in the 
operating code book.
