We just found out our neighbor was on the train, and didn’t make it. She leaves a husband, a son, and a daughter in her teens.
On the left is the Metrolink locomotive on its side....the "nose" of the F59 is completely collapsed. The spray paint on the cab indicated fatality. I believe that is Engineer Rob under the sheet....as it is right next to the right side window, where the engineer sits.
The other locomotive is the Union Pacific one, and much newer as the freight railroads had to meet more stringent smog rules starting July 1. You can see the nose is intact.
Again, further out from the same area.....you can see how the Metrolink locomotive was pushed back into the 1st Metrolink car.
Here today, they have pulled apart the wreckage....LA Times publishing a wide shot...but you can see rescuers have placed up tarps to where more victims probably are....
Oh no, so sorry to hear that.....
I missed this earlier. I’m very sorry to hear this.
Heartfelt prayers.
