Another Amtrak collision closer to me. No deaths or casualties luckily,

From the pictures it would appear that the truck driver was at fault and didn't clear the tracks in time.

"A U.S. official says investigators are examining whether an Amtrak engineer was distracted when a speeding train derailed, killing three people and sending several rail cars flying off an overpass.
The official said Tuesday that in addition to the engineer, there was another employee training in the train's cab Monday.
The official says investigators are looking into whether the engineer lost "situational awareness."
The official wasn't authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity."

Aside from lawsuits, bureaucracy, and the inflation of sweet-heart deals and union why are such things so expensive? I think a decent hobbyist could come up with a basic system to prohibit speed or throttle control dead man's switch...much more when we are talking computers, etc. PPP failure I suspect, the worst of both worlds: government and private?
