Will Amtrak have a train derailment story shown on CNN on May 10th, their self-declared, National Train Day?
Voided
No objective settlement possible without transcripts or video of the event in progress. I really like the interesting questions you make such an effort to create but to let them come to settlement we need to be able to easily find out the outcome.
Background:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Amtrak is hoping live entertainment, exhibits and a national TV personality will lure people who don't normally take the train into its stations — and then inspire them to return to ride the rails another day.
Dubbed "National Train Day," the May 10 effort includes a performance by singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles in Washington's Union Station. Al Roker, of NBC'sToday show, is serving as the official spokesman and will host the Washington events.
