The engineer has a civil action pending against the City of Dover due to the response of the PD and prosecutor that night and their actions and so he is unlikely to speak to the press at this time.

The officer was dispatched to a fire reported to be under the Salem St overpass. The police dispatcher, it was reported at the time, did not notify NJT of any personnel on or near the railroad, and may have been distracted by another call that came in right after dispatching the officer to the fire scene. At the time the officer arrived at the scene, according to published reports, the train that would later strike him was just departing Morristown, and would not arrive in Dover for about 14 minutes.
