On this day 28 years ago, at 1:30pm, one of the most horrific accidents involving an Amtrak train occurred on the NEC in Chase MD.

It resulted in both mandatory drug test and loco engineering licensing regulations to be put in place. In some ways it profoundly changed the way in which trains were operated.
