*******************************
Today (April 3rd 2016) there was yet another Amtrak derailment in the Philadelphia area. Initial reports are of two fatalities and many injuries.
This incident further points to the irresponsibility of running an additional track through the town of Ashland and placing trains even closer to homes and businesses than they are now. (See our post Safety Impact #1: Two Car Lengths for a formal analysis of the dangers that this proposed project presents.)

I am not familiar with Facebook. Presumably you could create a post with the title I have used and then insert a link to my blog.
