   There have been several newspaper articles expressing deep sympathy for the   
   kid's family and friends.   
      
   However, nothing was said about the train crew.  From the photo, it was an   
   ex-Metroliner cab car, so the engineer was right up front.  I suspect the   
   train screw was deeply traumatized by the event.   
      
   I hope this doesn't lead to copy cat incidents.  In the past, sometimes a NEC   
   suicide would trigger several more.
