The reports on the crash on the Harlem line of Metro North are chilling. My hubbie takes this train line every day, thank goodness there are no gate crossings at this end of the line

Seven people are dead now according to the 11PM news.

Terrible accident....such a shame....

I was just watching coverage of this. They're trying to figure out why the SUV was stopped on the tracks. Terrible.

Horrible. My sister commutes to NY. She used to take the Harlem line, but switched to the Hudson line. You just never know.

The man behind her said the gate came down on her roof and slid toward the back. She apparently got out and went to look at the damage, then got back in the car and hesitated, then started to move forward - too late. He said he backed up and kept motioning for her to back up, but he had no idea why she did what she did. So sad for all.

That's sad, KittyMom. Probably we'll never know why.

This is so sad.

Our boss takes that specific train but stayed in the city that night. We all were familiar with one of the victims, the investment banker who was well respected in his area of expertise. A co-worker had spoken to him the day before. Makes you realize that what we fret through during the work day really doesn't matter for much in this context.

I am so sorry for your loss, we are on the same train line about 20 miles South, I know the area where the crash was. I am still trying to process the details and accounts of the accident
