Plane crash around Willoughby

A small (?) plane crashed around Willoughby this morning on or near the right of way (CSX).
Anyone know the details?

The WB's are being held back in Buffalo as of 2pm!

According to news reports, the aircraft was a twin-engine Cessna 310, and it crashed at about 5:45AM. The site is on the east side of the Vine St. underpass and it did involve the railroad tracks.

At this point, the NS (ex-NKP) and the CSX (ex-Conrail, PC, NYC) lines are parallel and adjacent.

Any link to a news report of this?
How close are the two railroads there? It's been a long time since I was out west.

The trains are stacking up between Depew and Hamburg!
