I also noticed that Newsday didn't put the collision at JO. And I'm not an operating department employee. Just ride every day.
No one at Newsday realized that the Amtrak train couldn't get to the low side of Penn from where they showed the accident?
Maybe they should have run their story by this forum, for technical editing, before they published it?
In fairness, of course, one cannot expect reporters at a newspaper to be an expert at every facet of every story they will ever report on. They have no idea of whose trains go to what tracks during rush hour.
The reporter most likely was shown his info by someone else, who should have known.
One of the TV news channels had LIRR President Dermody as "Carmody".
They mispronounced it, and I chuckled. Then they put it on the screen that way!
