Talk:2016 Chester, Pennsylvania, train derailment

Problematic initial reports
These early news reports have to be treated with some suspicion. For instance, the WP article claims that the train runs from Boston to DC, which it does not. Mangoe (talk) 02:39, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Articles at Philly.com either suggest or outright say that there were two locomotives. I can't see more than one. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/2-reported-dead-after-Amtrak-train-derails-in-Chester.html said, ".... causing the lead engine of the train to derail." http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-time/Amtrak-crash-at-a-glance.html said, "Amtrak Train 89 was southbound on a trip from New York to Savannah, Ga., with 341 passengers and seven crew on board, when the collision occurred about 7:50 a.m. Sunday, derailing the two engines of the train." On Sunday evening, WUSA TV in DC was showing footage of the Frankford Junction wreck. Also, how many cars were in the train? 11 or 12, right? Thanks. 152.180.6.2 (talk) 20:07, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

1988 Chester, Pennsylvania, train derailment
Hi

Seems to be a tradition at Amtrak 30 Years ago this happened I was on a test train from Maryland to Wilmington nearby and remember the night, because our train was requested for service. I did not sleep but at 6 am. Greetings from Germany Erich — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.66.152.88 (talk) 23:04, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Why exactly does the article title have two commas? wouldn't it just be "2016 Pennsylvania train derailment"? Wikidude10000 (talk) 12:06, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
