'It simply did not stop'...
'Went airborne'...
'Terminal was brake'...
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The wreck of the New Jersey Transit passenger train is like pulling the string on a talking Barbie doll as authorities rush to putting out press releases that this was not "a terror event" and it was the engineer's fault, in the same explanation which one receives for every jet that goes down.
In all trains, are people in control. Some systems have
conductors off the train managing them from a terminal, but in New Jersey they are the diesel locomotive or locomotives, pulling or pushing cars, with at least an
engineer in the locomotive and a conductor managing the passengers or cargo.
By the information posted below, we can discern that this line only runs 31 miles and makes 21 stops to pick up passengers. On average the train stops every 1 to 2 miles, so it is not a fast moving train, as it requires time and distance to pick up "speed" and with too much speed one could never manage a cost effect train as that much braking would wear out the train or break it's carriage.
This explains why the train did not derail, or explode through the Hoboken terminal as a heavy freight train would. It was more akin to a glacier moving than a 9 11 jet into the Twin Towers.
New Jersey Transit is an expansive transit system. The
Hoboken Division has four main lines in this mass passenger transit route.

In fact, the
Pasack Valley line had an increased spike in passenger traffic since 2012 in the fastest growing line in the system.
Now for what most of you come to this site for to steal from me, as you preen in front of your mirrors reciting, "Mirror mirror on the wall, who is holier than the god of all"......and of course you answer yourself, instead of rescuing your bubble investments and donating here, before the bubble bursts as Donald Trump noted will take place in a few months.
While New Jersey Transit has
Muslim threats, as reported exclusively by the
Lame Cherry in matter anti matter, and the
New Jersey hiring policies required special laws to keep DWI convicts from running their trains, this wreck in inquiry points to a white guy, who was away from the controls.
Not really an operator error, but more like an engineer who was urinating. Inquiry points to 3 coffees, quart coffees because someone was up late.
If the last pick up and stop mileage is correct, it was 5 1/2 miles. Conclusion is someone took longer to drain than the plumbing allowed. No prostrate troubles, but left the controls inquiry points to at about the 3 mile mark when the train had come up to speed.
I suppose he would have gotten into trouble hanging it out the window, but it would have been safer.
Oh something about a cell phone call too.
