The crew was whistling before impact and put the train into an emergency brake application. Unfortunately the train was unable to stop (in time).

We are adjusting our operations to minimize the blockage at Birch Point. We'll try to minimize it to no more than 10 to 15 minutes.

It has been determined that it was not speed-related. (The train) was traveling 46 mph in a 60 mph zone.

There is no environmental threat.

We're investing to meet present and future needs.

If we anticipate it taking longer than 10 to 15 minutes we'll advance the trains to the east. Then we have to transport the crew by van [to the easterly location].
