re: #190 klys and whatnot

Yeah, having looked more at maps it is not the Amtrak line (although watching the live video does show that this is a double track, not a single track). So good news for Amtrak, in that their track is not damaged. I would not be surprised if they shut down or delay some service today though, because it passes a similar distance to the incident site as I-95, which I am hearing they may shut down.

Seeing this a lot…

Unless I’m mistaken, Amtrak does not have any track. Maybe Acela, but that would be the only one. Amtrak uses the existing track and right-of-way of the freight rail infrastructure, which is why you’ll sometimes be forced to wait in a siding for twenty minutes while a freight train goes by. He’s the one who owns the place.
