This was titled: LIRR Kills Road Car Inspector
This has been covered in the local and national news, though many have probably not heard it.
Yet another LIRR employee has been killed on the job.
LIRR president, Helena Williams, who has called her workers "thieves," and defends the work environment as among the safest in the nation, sent her condolences. The railroad has recently begun using larger-sized cheaper ballast stones on its rights of way which have contributed to many slip and fall accidents.

Many of us have worked with Russell and his father, LIRR Engineer Ed, and keep them both in our prayers.
