My parents just got off Amtrak on this same track and I thank God they made it home safe this morning before this happened with the freight train.

That was not a 911 call from the crew. It was the crew of L743 calling their dispatcher to advice them of what just happened

Why the track operation center not tell the Crew ahead was a stopped rock train?

@anthonyceleste6611

Because the train that was stopped was on a different track. The intermodal train was supposed to go straight on a different track. However the switch was lined for the wrong track and that's how the accident occurred

Was that a hand operated switch or an interlocked switch controlled by a dispatcher? I ask because if it was interlocked, the occupied OS section would have knocked down all of the signals and the train that hit the standing train would have had a Stop Signal. If that is the case, they violated a Stop Signal for some reason.

@@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont they were running on EC-1's and got the all clear from the switch tender to proceed. Plus where this happened there is a switch that sends trains down two sets of tracks towards 2 different subdivisions. The rock train was coming out of Waycross and was on track 2. The intermodal train was supposed to continue north crossing in front of the stopped L743. However the switch was lined improperly causing I032 to proceed down the wrong subdivision on track 2 towards L743

It just fouled the point enough that the DS switch the track without looking at the screen, taking the crews word for being clear etc. The intermodal ran on restricted thinking it would be clear. So the MOW crew hand threw the switch but the DS lined it back with cars still on the frog! BooM.
