Where are they?

So we know about the disasterous train wreck in Chatsworth on Friday (about 1 mile from my work) I hope the reports are false that the engineer was texting some train enthusiasts in the area instead of paying attention to a red light which would have easily prevented this tragedy.

I really thought there were other safeguards in place where something like that would be prevented. Metrolink if the reports are true will get their heads sued off and possibly even be forced to go under if it's true.
