There's still no explanation as to why the conductor aboard the train fell, and why she was there when she fell

UPDATE: Conductor instantly killed when train ran over her, officials say

By KKTV | 
 

CAÑON CITY, Colo. (KKTV) Fremont County Sheriff's deputies are investigating a death involving the Royal Gorge Railroad Scenic Train.

Leslie Cacy, 28, died when she fell off the back of the train from a door opening and was run over Saturday evening, officials said.

Cacy was the train's conductor.

The sheriff's office said the train was about four miles west of the station when the incident happened.

The Fremont County coroner says Cacy is from the Cañon City area. Her husband has been notified and was told she will be undergoing an autopsy scheduled for next week.

Investigators say there were around 200 passengers on the train at the time. They were let off the train around 9 p.m.

At this time, how the accident happened is under investigation. The NTSB has been notified but did not give any specific instructions.

Investigators say no foul play is suspected.

The railroad said on Sunday it has suspended service for the next several days for the investigation.

In a statement, the Royal Gorge Railroad said:

"We are absolutely devastated by the loss of our team member who died yesterday in an accident on the train. We have been working around the clock with authorities to figure out exactly what happened. Right now, our focus is on helping the Fremont County Sheriff's office do its job, and taking care of our team. We will not be running the train for the next few days, and anyone with reservations will be refunded or may reschedule. We are a family run business, and our team members are like family to us. Our hearts are broken. We will share more information as soon as we have it."

I knew a short-careered female BOT who fell off the back of a cut of cars, landed between the rails, and crawled out. She decided railroading wasn't for her.

One would think they were shoving, from the scarcity of information.

Team member.

Despite the inappropriateness of the timing of its use around a sad fatality, this makes Snippy taste a little bit of vomit at the back of his mouth every time some scum RR management uses it. Snippy is jaded. Even the bestest of family RR managers have an ulterior motive at times like this.
