N.D. train derailment victim identified
WASHBURN, N.D. The man killed in a train derailment south of Washburn has been identified as a Mandan resident, the Grand Forks Herald reports.

Dakota, Missouri Valley & Western Railroad vice president Jeff Wood said employees are having a hard time dealing with the loss of Jeff Heitzmann, 46. He had worked for the railroad several years ago and recently came back.

(Heitzman is not a UTU member.)

Heitzmann was killed Thursday when five engines went off the tracks, two of them falling onto the banks of Turtle Creek below. Another worker was treated at a Bismarck hospital and released.

Wood said he cant release the name of the injured worker until he gets approval from the Federal Railroad Administration, which is investigating.

Wood said the embankment apparently gave way, causing the derailment.
