An Amtrak Sunset Limited passenger train traveling from Los Angeles to Orlando derailed in Texas on Thursday, July 8, 1999, after hitting a tanker truck.
Whenever there is a major news item regarding Amtrak, TrainWeb will attemp to either post information about the event or provide links to others web pages that cover the event. However, please be aware that most online news outlets remove pages about current news within days after the event. Thus, if you attempt to use the below links more than a few days after the event, the links might no longer work. Most newspapers move their current stories into an online database after a few days. In most cases you can search their database online using the date or topic of the article, but will often have to pay to retrieve the article.
Thanks goes to Mike Kimura for bringing some of the above online articles to my attention.
