George Westinghouse. Written by: Sage Simmons. Pt 2

The accedent.
George Westinghouse was right now in college... he didn't enjoy really anything at college.
When he had the time he spent most of it in "The Den" inventing all sorts of things.
One day a man came up to him and asked him a question that would change George's life, "Do you like college?"
George Westinghouse replied (Which I can't quite remember, and I am making it Simple...) "No." and told him that he would rather spend time inventing things, and put his mind to work.
The man finally convinced George's father to take him out of college. And he did, even better, George's father allowed him to work at a bench in his shop! George probably spent most of his time in "The Den" though...
Now getting onto the title...
Sadly.. one day.. a devastating train wreck occurred.. George was more than curious as to know if the engineers were actually doing their work, he asked one of the men who was working on it, or who knew what happened and said, "Were they not doing their jobs?"
The man solemnly replied, "They were... but it is a hard and slow process.. we tried to get everyone to get the breaks... it takes time to jump from place to place, and you have to stop each little train box, so they tried... but was too late."
George then had more questions buzzing through like millions of bees, flying around him and into his head, "But isn't it supposed to be a quick process?"
The man then answered, "It takes time for the engineer to find trouble... then to communicate to the others about what is happening."
George then knew, and came up with a brilliant idea when a news report came about the alps and making new track by the air itself!
