Poor old #8...funny thing thing is, I had seen this engine twice, and the last time I saw it was just TWENTY-SIX days before this crash (11/4/07)- and I videotaped it, too. I guess it just goes to show you never know when your video might be historic! Another strange thing is, I saw #8 on the exact same day (Nov 4th) seven years earlier!

DS didn't fuck up, the Engineer did... Thought he was on a slow approach but was actually on a restricting, so he was doing 40 and prepared to stop at the next signal when he should have been doing 15 prepared to stop short of ANYTHING on the tracks ahead (Including but not limited to a bad switch, derail, red flag, freight train, etc). Add in the other trains moving on either side and yeah, it was a recipe for disaster. Nobody was killed but some crewmembers were seriously hurt.
