I believe it was someone who was in the truck.  So sad.

Amtrak is used quite often by members of Congress who live on the east coast.  Joe Biden rode it every day from our train station in Wilmington.


 

Yes, we used it several times when in DC.  It's like a commuter train for many.

I read it was a garbage truck.

 

I'll wait for the NTSB to investigate.

It sure looks like a garbage truck, what a mess.  There's a photo of the accident, nothing gory but a mess of garbage, on Raw story.  Right hand side, scroll down a bit.

          As I was watching the news, I immediately wondered "why" the truck was on the track???  Supposedly, when these excursions take place, the travel way is cleared of traffic.  And there were choppers flying overhead to oversee trip.  Will be  interested to hear the investiagation results.

The President is to speak at The Greenbrier resort tonight, so all the government officials were headed to Lewisburg, WV.
