EAGLE LAKE (AP) — The truck
driver at the center of last week’s
Amtrak collision was charged Mon
day with failing to stop for the train.
El Campo truck driver David
Bubela could face a fine of up to
$200 if found guilty of the class C
misdemeanor, said Tom Vinger, a
spokesperson for the Department of
Public Safety.
Bubela, 21, told officials he did
not see a stop sign posted in front of
the rural crossing and saw the Or
lando, Fla.-bound Sunset Limited
too late to get out of the way.
The impact derailed the train.
Twenty of the train’s 235 passengers
and an engineer were injured.
Bubela will not be charged in
connection with the tanker truck’s
missing log book, a violation that ap
parently played no role in the acci
dent, Vinger said.
A recorder taken from the second
locomotive shows the train was trav
eling at 68 mph, just under the 70-
mph authorized speed along the
Union Pacific track. Jay Kivowitz, an
investigator with the National Tlans-
portation Safety Board, said.
The federal investigation could
result in an upgrade of warning
equipment at the crossing, which
is marked only by stop signs and
X-shaped railroad crossbuck
signs. Kivowitz noted that a simi
lar collision involving a freight
train and a grain truck occurred at
the same railroad crossing three
weeks earlier.
No one was injured in that wreck.
“We’ve been told that there
may have been other accidents at
that location, and we will be
searching data bases to determine
if that is correct,” Kivowitz said.
He said his agency’s investigation
will likely take at least six months
to complete.
The Eagle Lake crossing is on one
of the nation’s busiest east-west rail
links. Union Pacific officials said an
average of 28 trains use the stretch
of track each day.

Elizabeth Pariani, a senior journalism major and
former producer for The Battalion Radio, will teach a
workshop on producing news radio programs.
Pariani said she will discuss writing and editing sto
ries in the style used for radio broadcasting. Then the
camp participants will read and record an audio ver
sion of their stories at The Battalion Radio’s sound
booth. The recording will be transferred to 90.9
KAMU-FM where it will be recorded to an audio tape
for the J-Camp participants to take home.
Pariani said she is looking forward to working with
the high-school students because students who par
ticipate in this type of program are interested in learn
ing.
Jordan Davis, a freshman English and journalism
major, will teach workshop on producing news for
TV.
He said his job as lab proctor, in which he helps
teach A&M students to use the same equipment for
their broadcast journalism labs, has prepared him for
teaching the workshop.
“I think these students will probably be less de
manding than college students and complain less,” he
said.
He said due to time constraints, the students will
not produce a full-scale production but will get an in
troduction to broadcast media and learn the basics of
using TV production equipment.
Davis said the students will use network news-qual
ity cameras and a digital editing software program
called “Microsperous,” which he said is gaining pop
ularity.
George said the “centerpiece” of the students’ experi
ence at J-Camp will be their production of a 4-page pub
lication, which the students will design and produce pic
tures and stories for.
He said the students will go to Huntsville where they
will watch the production of their final product as it is
printed, at the printing presses of The Huntsville Item.
“We want to introduce these students to the pro
fession [of journalism] because we believe in the pro
fession,” George said.
