NYCOOLBREEZ.. I take it by your comments, you have never worked during a signal suspension, or for a Class 1 RR before. This was not an illegal activity, nor was it planned. The person making the mistake did not go out at the start of the of the day saying he was going to leave a switch lined in on his train for Amtrak to run into and create a horrific accident. A mistake, a terrible mistake, was made. The NTSB will come to the conclusion and then the lawyers will have a field day with this as well as all the media and so called experts on here. A rule was violated and no one feels any worse about it, than the person who did it.
