From the wall street journal comes news that the engineer operating that fateful Metrolink train may have been texting with some local train enthusiasts moments before he proceeded through a red warning light and collided head long into a freight train on Friday killing scores of passengers.  The kicker is that the spoke person for Metrolink has resigned for admitting responsibility for the crash even before the NTSB findings.

Ms. Tyrell says that she resigned after Mr. Roberts called her announcement "premature" and said that she "did not have authorization" to make the statement. Ms. Tyrell said that she had the authorization of David Solow, Metrolink's chief executive, to take responsibility for the crash.  Mr. Solow couldn't be immediately reached for comment.

"The statement was and is accurate," Ms. Tyrell said in an email. "It was the right thing to do regardless of how ticked off it made the NTSB."
