I'm very sorry to read about the death of Ms. Leslie Cacy, a Conductor on the Royal Gorge Route Railroad, who was killed in an accident while working on the line's passenger excursion train on Saturday, May 28, 2016. It appears that she was standing in the doorway at the end of a car, protecting a backup move into the station at Canon City, but lost her hold, slipped and fell underneath the train and was run over.

My condolences to her family and her railroad co-workers.
