Please join us, as special guest Bob Alkire joins us to discuss the fatal events which took place near DuPont, Washington, in December 2017. Bob will discuss the history of the line, the right-of-way involved in the recent incident and its inaugural run that never reached its final destination.

We also talk about facts that have come to light in the past month, including the lack of PTC and how the incident occurred during it inaugural run.  We will also discuss our thoughts of what will change or be modified in the future of passenger rail in the country.
