Bad Link

The link to the NTSB document isn't working. Kevink707 (talk) 21:29, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Correcting 3 errors
There are three significant errors in the train operations which I have corrected: the number of cars in the train was 49, not 48 (the NTSB report explains why there was one more car than listed in the manifest); the helper locomotives were not "pushers", they were positioned at the front of the train; and the crew was not "waiting for the signal to be repaired", as they had dispatcher permission to pass the red signal. The NTSB report makes it clear that the main reason the crew was swapping the locomotive order was because the lead locomotive did not have a working cab heater; additionally the lights (headlight, etc) were not working correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:CA70:0:0:0:240D (talk) 22:48, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
