If Hunter just became your boss, wouldn't you want to jump too?

Don't worry, Hunter will fix it.

This one's downright amusing compared to the other CSX accident.

@Philip H,

I thought that by his reference to "the other CSX accident," @jagged ben meant the hiring of Hunter, which, of course, is analogous to a train wreck.

EDIT: I just read the article on the accident in Biloxi.  That's terrible, although CSX shouldn't be to blame for that one.

its a long simmering dispute on that crossing - the road is steep and routinely hangs trucks.  and hung a bus last year.  There are warning signs but they are either too small for some, too close to the crossing for others or too poorly understood.  State and county DOT have not ever, supposedly, looked at repaving to make it slimer.

   Safer?

[Philip H]

Less steeply graded

Speaking of accidents, I saw a report that a stack train blew over somewhere due to high winds.  Not been a good 72 hours for CSX

Yep, high winds blew a double stack off the tracks in Batavia.
