Glendale Metrolink suit rolls on

Looks like Metrolink won a round in the long legal saga stemming from the deadly Glendale crash in 2005:

An appellate panel has agreed to hear Metrolink’s challenge of a judge’s decision to allow plaintiffs to pursue negligence claims stemming from a train wreck that killed 11 people, the agency announced today. The Jan. 26, 2005, crash at the Glendale-Los Angeles city line also injured more than 180 others. In June, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Emilie H. Elias rejected an argument by Metrolink’s attorneys that the transit agency was immune from negligence claims in the case. But she encouraged the 2nd District Court of Appeal to review her ruling before the first trial involving three consolidated lawsuits begins next July 14. (CNS)

When Roger Snoble and his band of idiots STOP running trains BACKWARDS, then there will not be more of these tragic collisions. At the bare minimum, pursue acquisition of fortified cab cars with a century-old invention, the plow-shaped cow-catcher which throws foreign objects off the track without derailment.
