I hope that responding a battalion directly to the LIRR Control center is a new procedure that makes complete sense. Nothing like a Battalion Chief looking you in the eye and asking can you confirm ? It is reassuring knowing directly the power is OFF , and cut out the confusion.

A BC assigned as a Transit Laison has been in place for quite awhile now.

Makes a lot of sense.  I was a volunteer in Northern Delaware and I can't tell you how many times that we were on the tracks fighting a field fire or picking up the remains of a person struck and had trains run through our scene (after being told through our dispatcher that the track was shut down by Amtrak).

Is this station underground?

132 actually 3rd due but with 105's report of train derailment 132 was probably sent as the SOC Support truck.

Compared to the derailment/accident in Hoboken recently, today's incident was considered relatively minor
