I know this is off topic, but it's all over the local news here in 
Jacksonville, FL. The auto-train derailed around 5:00 PM ET today. Almost 500 
people on board. This happened just south of Palatka, Fl which is about 30 
mi. southwest of Jacksonville. Train was traveling at about 78mph. It was 
heading north. This train consisted of about 40 cars and two engines. Watch 
your local news and stay tuned. I hope nobody on this list has relatives on 
board.                                                                          
                                                                        Mark
