Looks like they are already going to start to play the blame game, specifically in regards to PTC.......This is copied directly from MSN's live feed - "Commuter train that crashed into New Jersey Transit's Hoboken terminal was not equipped with positive train control technology - NBC News"

Probably none of the above, because Chateaugay Mine was owned by Republic Steel, Tahawus Mine was Titanium and Lead mining, and New Leonard Mine production was sent to Allen Wood Steel. Beth Steel had their own mines (Joanna, PA, Cornwall, mines in Chile, Cuba via boat from NY Harbor/Claremont termi...
