All Aboard Episode 012: The Crash at Chase, 37 Years later
On January 4, 1987, Amtrak's northbound Colonial collided with 3 Conrail locomotives at Gunpow Interlocking in Chase, MD. The Conrail engineer, Ricky Gates, was under the influence of Marijuana and missed several signals, with the result being 16 dead, many more injured, millions of dollars in damage, and the implementation of engineer licensing. With Marijuana now being 'legal' in many states, what will the future hold for rail safety?
