CSX is agreeing with federal officials who say the company and one of its train crews were responsible for an Amtrak crash that killed two people and hurt nearly 100 passengers in South Carolina in 2018. CSX spokeswoman Cindy Schild says the company’s rules and procedures were not followed when a CSX crew parked a train on a side track near Columbia and then didn’t flip a switch to move the tracks back to the main line. The Amtrak train then went down that side track at full speed and hit the parked train head on.
