The Union Pacific engine in which at least two people died. It was hit head-on by the Metrolink train dragging the remains of the car left on the tracks. Imagine the force necessary to knock a massive freight train engine onto its side and partially into a nearby parking lot.

As I was watching early this morning, one injured man was taken from the upper part of this car. He was moving his arms as the firefighters were carefully removing the stretcher down to the ground. However, shortly thereafter, they covered the man with a white sheet.

The train sheared a signal tower off.

Some of the walking wounded in the triage area. The call came into police and fire services at around 6:11am local time. The first emergency units were on the scene within minutes, and a full triage center was set up by about 6:40am local.

This is just heartbreaking
