IL Zephyr Struck Person on Thursday 9/30

[Deni]

A friend of mine was on the IL Zephyr from Chicago to Macomb on Thursday and she told me they struck and killed a trespasser on the tracks. She didn't know where they were except to say that, timewise at least, they were about halfway to Macomb. They were on site for a while and pulled slowly in to the next station (she didn't know which one) and sat there for several hours. She was told a new crew and engine were dispatched from Chicago to hook up and continue the journey. Got to Macomb at 3:00am, 5 hours and 46 minutes late. I have not been able to find anything about it on the news.
