Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 NTSB: Derailed train was going too fast Sunday, September 18, 2005; Posted: 5:53 p.m. EDT (21:53 GMT) CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- A commuter train was going almost 60 mph faster than the speed limit just before it derailed, killing two people and injuring dozens, the acting chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board said Sunday. Mark Rosenker said the Metra train was traveling at 69 mph and should not have been going faster than 10 mph when it switched tracks at a crossover just before jumping the tracks Saturday. The double-decked commuter train was headed into Chicago from Joliet on Saturday morning with 185 passengers and four crew members when its locomotive and five rail cars jumped the tracks about 5 miles south of downtown. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/09/18/train.derailment.ap/index.html Dear List Members, Dasha is Ve/Sa/Ve/Ve/Sa. In transit, Venus afflicts MEP6, and Saturn is afflicted by natal Rahu/Ketu axis.
