    Southwest Chief derailment (June 2022)

    Too bad that people don't pay attention to trains. All those fatalities both in Kansas and California could have been avoided! Not Amtrak's fault. " SEE TRACKS, THINK TRAINS!"

    Alaska RR also has a few SD45's in use too. All 6-wheel trucks.

    What about the Auto-trains? Sometimes they are 40+ cars long.

    Thanks for the info. I thought the 6 axle trucks were better on tracks all the big lines run them?

    Amtrak engine trucks

    Why does Amtrak not go to C (6-wheel trucks) instead of B (4-wheel trucks)? They would have better grip and extend time on the marker reader time? Pluss being easier on the rails themselves?
