The Q-190 hit an unidentified man near the West Delaware Avenue railroad bridge on Wednesday at 2:42PM. For those of you that aren't familiar with the Q-190. It is a double-stack train that runs almost every day from Philadelphia, PA to South Kearny. It's southbound counterpart, the Q-191 runs the same route reversed of course. This is one of the few high priority frieghts that run the Trenton Line so he was flying when the accident occurred. The report stated that the scene had various body parts strewn all over the tracks, which one would expect from two AC6000CW's and 22 cars.

That's unfortunate to hear. It wasn't a particuarly long train too so a train like that would have no problem in getting quickly up to speed.

Is that what was in the record yesterday with that SUV that was hit? They didn't give much detail about it in the paper.
