Apparently Amrtrak has more blood on its hands this morning, after on of its DC bound trains struck and killed two CSX crewmen adjacent to its tracks approaching Union Station last night. Details:

This saddens all railroaders, as they were brothers, and/or sister employees to all railroaders

The follow up to the rwo trainmen killed outside DC by Amtrak in late June. STB/FRA released this:

Sad story. Especially when the kid was only 14 years old, but he was playin' around the yard, and with full sized trains, ya never know...

When the news comes after the fact,somebody got in a tangle with your train unbeknownst phukk ! That is just as unnerving in it's own spooky way. Tu bad for the kid. If he had the day tu live over again ...

 Had that happen twice, once when a guy ended up minus a leg and once when some guy ran into the side of the train.
