Still getting details on this one. Needless to say, 12 vehicles hit by a train is way out of the ordinary. I saw the TV coverage on this one and there is MAJOR damage to vehicles. No injury count yet. And no reported injuries on the train.

I am glad you found more information on the accident, as the radio said almost nothing.

Thank you for posting the report.

It sure is! I heard on the radio this morning there was a massive tanker explosion on I-95 as well. Don't think their connected.

Thanks for the ping.
It's amazing that nobody was killed.

We have a few more folks who now understand that "Do NOT stop on the tracks" is a smart policy.
