Complete article.BART derailment: Investigators focus on train, clear driver
BART investigators are focusing their probe of the Feb. 21 train derailment in Concord on the four cars that jumped the tracks after they cleared the part-time train operator from any wrongdoing, a manager told the board late Thursday.
Paul Oversier, assistant general manager of operations, gave the most detailed explanation of the accident to date, saying inspectors have yet to find a "smoking gun."
"On these kind of incidents we prefer to have a smoking gun because then we know what to fix," Oversier told the BART board of directors at the end of Thursday's long meeting.
SNIP
The derailment could prove costly as the first two cars are "not repairable," while the second two will cost a "considerable amount of money" to fix.
