Oh it's worse than that - Channel 8 TV's web site had the headline "Fatal Train Wreck in Fairport". Apparently anything which involves a train is a train wreck. They have since changed the headline. Also, Channel 8 claims the train was eastbound, while the R News report said it was a westbound Conrail train (!?). And later stories are backing away from initial claims they were fighting.
It's a tragedy any way you look at it, and I'm sure the crew on the train will have a less than merry Christmas too, even though they were doing what they were supposed to be doing.
