Re: [californiadisasters] Mass Casualty Passenger Rail (Contra Costa Co.)

That is correct. It would have been train number 718. They are coming out of a curve there and are accelerating to their max speed of 79 MPH.

I am getting a first report of an Amtrak (maybe a Caltrain instead?) colliding with a tractor trailer near Knightsen in Contra Costa County with 30-50 casualties. Any word out there?
