The B roll material that you provide is fascinating, and really contributes to an open investigative process.

Don't forget hi-viz vests and hard hats.

Where's the recording of the mental health forum from dec6th?

How did they end up on the same track?

[@Essential312]

They were both going the same way.

[@horny99845]

Then the other question is this: was there a single failure?

[@Essential312]

@@horny99845 I’d have to talk to my buddy. He’s out there re railing the train this morning.

[@Stanf954]

Signal failure or train operator error? Was the tower dispatcher negligent by routing a live train onto an out of service track occupied by a work train?

[@cwmbc]

Surely for a maintenance train to be on the rails. That section should have been blocked by signals as well as some secondary warning for other users.

Hope everyone is ok

[@hebrews11vs5]

I think the equipment won.

[@NC8ED]

A long long time ago there was a band name Chicago Transit Authority. But CTA said "No can't use our name".

Ok no one cares

[@redfoxblacksocks]

@Drootb I agree. Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?

And what does this have to do with the price of rice in China?

Train loses
