Addendum to 99-122: Following the publication of Railway Occurrence Report 99-122 the Commission received additional information based on a new recorded departure time of Train 919 from Clinton. This strengthened some previously expressed concerns at the interpretation which could be placed on sections of the report covering actions open to the locomotive engineer of Train 919 (LE2) on the day. The Commission considers the new information does not affect the findings and recommendations of the report, but does warrant this addendum to clarify the time restraints applicable to Train 919 and LE2.
