A day after a train accident deadlocked Broad Street, workers avoided towering wood piles, broken axles and reporters as they negotiated the rubble left behind.
“Can’t answer your questions,” several workers responded about overtime wages and the project’s duration.
The workers may be on scene for a while if the 28 overturned cars sitting near Chattanooga Creek are any indication.
Company officials say they don’t know why Sunday’s accident occurred, but they’ve narrowed it down to three possibilities: a faulty track, overly weighted cars or crew error.
The possibility of crew error will be evaluated with an “event recorder,” according to CSX spokesman Gary Sease. Storing every crew instruction and maneuver associated with the train’s journey, the event recorder acts the same way a black box does on an airplane.
