Thanks for sharing the story with us. I am very surprised at the incident because the system is very reliable and like it says in the article its the first major incident in the 38 year history of the monorail system. If you could keep us updated on this investigation then that would be great. Thanks

Best Regards

We travelled on it back in 1989 and I was very impressed. I am amazed that it could have happened.

The NTSB is getting involved now. Looks like they are focussing on shunting procedures.

Now that is strange, no one knows what happened.
