Grinding DOES NOT remove internal flaws.
A penny physically cannot derail a train unless you use it to close relay contacts to display a red signal before a train with a green. Hopefully the engineer would not dump air (apply full emergency braking) and cause any cars to derail.
We're not talking about rail flaws and fractures. Yes, rails are FULL of insignificant flaws. American rails are excellent.

I'm sure the engineer dumped the air, as thats what they're trained to do in a collision. An emergency brake application WILL NOT cause a train to derail, in fact trains go into emergency unintentionally all the time. As for the quality of American rails...
You're right. " ... ( 4 months ago by robertgift)
You're right. "Dump if you Bump"
Yes, cars can and have derailed from dumping air, especially bad when the brake was "big holed" for a missed collision.
I would never dump air if doing so would do no good. No use risking derailment, which could result in far worse outcome than killing the moron(s) fouling the track - who WILL BE HIT ANYWAY.
Imagine also how many wheels may be flattened and need to be replaced?
No, slow the train sensibly.
American rails are VERY good, considering ...
I agree with you to ... ( 4 months ago by railheadwillie)
I agree with you to a certain extent, but you always have to cover your own ass first. I was taught from day one to dump the air if a collision looks eminent. The chance of derailment is very slim (unless other factors are present such as defective cars or track), and who cares about flat spots when you're talking about the potential loss of human life?

[Why do my replies NOT APPEAR UNDER your posts?]
Dumping air won't make one bit of difference.
Guy is dead anyway, slim possibility of derail, and now lots of flat wheels for nothing.
I'd flatten every wheel if it could save a life. But it won't. Locked wheels lose adhesion and create less deceleration than slowly turning wheels.
I've had a train ... ( 4 months ago by railheadwillie)
I've had a train separate at a speed of over 50mph. It went into emergency of course, and I had to walk it to inspect and find the separation. I did not derail, and I found no evidence of flat spots. Going into emergency is not a big deal. Do yourself a favor and plug it if your going to hit someone. Everything you do on that engine is recorded and an attorney will not hesitate to bring up the fact you didnt plug it, if it happens to go to a lawsuit. BTW which railroad do you work for?
I don't work for a ... ( 4 months ago by robertgift)
I don't work for a RR. My Great Uncle, a locomotive engineer, told me.
What was the cause of the separation?
In Utah, in the middle of the night a train went into emergency. They reconnected the train and continued.
Next morning, in daylight, a car was found down the embankment! (Now they're required to count cars in such events.)
Are brakes getting better? Uncle pointed out lots of flat spots - you heard them. Some really pounded the rail.
Yes, the event recorder will be examined.
I've had several ... ( 4 months ago by railheadwillie)
I've had several train separations in my career. In this case it was a broken knuckle, but they can separate for numerous reasons (open pin lifters, rotated couplers, drawbars, etc.) The railroad I work for does not require you to count the cars if you break apart. Double check with your uncle. If you hit a vehicle you plug it from the head end and the rear end if you have an EOT (end of train device) or a DPU (distributed power unit) it is the fastest way to stop a train, thats why its there.

There were 2 adult women and 4 young children in the van. She stopped just short of the tracks, in traffic, before the gate came down and then appears to have panicked when the gate came down. Instead of backing up, she drove forward onto the tracks, just as the train came upon the crossing. The engineer informed me, if she had never moved her car, the train would most likely only hit her front bumper.

What is tragic is that the driver had her adopted son/nephew, who had already been through the loss his birth parents, at home waiting for them. The father, a truck driver, had to be flown in from another state and DNA tests had to be done to identify who was who with the remains in the vehicle. The driver was thrown from the vehicle and what was left of her was found about a mile back on the tracks from where the train stopped.

I bet, she thought she had the reverse gear as she steped lightly the gas. Instead she still had D and that was fatal.

There is nothing tragic about any of this, they all deserved it. Trains are not on tracks by accident, cars are. Stop, Look, Listen, Live. Don't, and you get what you deserve.

As one of the crew who worked this train, I can assure you it did affect us and we feel for those who lost members of their family in this. Because of how she reacted to the on-coming train, it appeared as a potential suicide, but witness evidence did show that it wasn't. If she had only stayed put and not moved her car like she did...:~(

Polybun...Are you saying infants deserve to get hit by trains?...because 4 of the occupants were children...and 2 of them were in car seats. If so, I can not fathom how you can come to that way of thinking.
