Today's pedestrian death, a little different than usual

[wayman]

We've been having about one death-by-Amtrak per week in the Philadelphia area this year, it seems... but today's was a change from the usual.

Struck by an Amtrak work train. (Result: the same as always.)

"...the speed limit on that section of track is 110 m.p.h but it is not yet known how fast the work train that hit the person was going at the time."

A work train doing 110 would really be something!
