   I emailed CNN during their broadcast because they had their facts wrong.  One   
   reporter stated that the engineer would have been in the locomotive, (the LAST   
   car), as it pulled in the station and they said that he was slumped over the   
   controls.  I told them that they needed to make sure that their facts were   
   correct becase the engineer would always be in the FIRST car going forward so   
   he could see ahead of him for signals, objects on the tracks ect.  He would be   
   in a control compartment operating the train and be the first car to hit the   
   bumper and go off the track.  The train would be PUSH mode going into the   
   station and in PULL mode going out.   
      
   Perhaps someone else heard this also.  They only claimed this once.
