| AMTK 61 leads Amtrak 304 into the Springfield IL Amtrak Station. It is stopped because while I was waitiing for the train to come through the station, a man was hit by the plow of AMTK 61 and was thrown to the side of the tracks. I threw up my hands and the train stopped very quickly. According to the news, he was trying to take a selfie on the railroad tracks. I saw that either a friend of his or his wife and him weres standing in the crossing. The freind or wife just made it across the tracks. Unfortunately for the guy, his was thrown and is in critical condition. Please keep him in your thought and prayers. |
