Freight and passenger trains are different

This was a passenger MU type train, not your typically pictured big locomotive in front and cars behind like Amtrak type train.

The engineer is sitting right there in the front with only his glass window separating him from the object about to be collided with.

I would expect that one of the fatalities was the engineer...

That’s what meant, like the trains we have here in Dallas,

The story I saw this morning indicated that the engineer was treated at a nearby hospital but wasn't one of the fatalities.

Go figure.
