I'm posting a link to a news article about the Amtrak collision with a freight train this morning (Thursday) near Wendover, UT. There is a picture on the page at the other end of the link. This is a newspaper account so lots of details are sketchy. Still, it's a start. http://us.news2.yimg.com/f/42/31/7m/dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010913/us/amtrak_crash_8.html Blessings and prayers to the families of those who perished, to survivors and to the rescue workers in New York City and in Arlington, VA. The immensity of it all is beyond comprehension. Peace, Ed
