Now, I normally don't post the typical rail crossing accident type news here because of the same old responses it generates, but this one is different:
A CSX Transportation worker was killed when his pickup truck was struck by an unmanned rail cargo car at the company’s Rice Yard in Waycross early Friday.
Thoughts and prayers go out to the victim and family. I will leave this topic open; let's remember this is not the usual type incident and keep that in mind when offering comments, and be sensitive to the victim's memory and family.

Another Brother lost. Thoughts and prayers for his family and co-workers.
Unusual, most Hump facilities I am familiar with have gates blocking any cross roads during hump operations.
Unfortunate and Unexceptable loose.
