I threw the newspaper away that the train wreck article was in. Big news here in Jax. No crossing signals, just a crossing sign. Train was the Silver-something from New York to Miami. The only person killed was the truck driver. Upon interviewing passengers arriving in Jacksonville via bus, one man described when they were being led away from the train. He said you could see the uncovered body of the truck driver hanging out. Pretty gruesome. Don't know how you could see that as they showed what was left of the truck and it was literally in small pieces. Engineer is the only one still hospitalized. After seeing what was left of the truck, I'd say he's pretty lucky to be here at all. Mark mc
