NS Train 10G hits a man at Seward, Pa on Friday 2/11

It has been reported on several Yahoogroups that a man was struck by eastbound NS General Manifest 10G at Seward, Pa. ( late Friday afternoon) which is about 10 miles West of Johnstown. The man may have been on an ATV. This follows an incident a week earlier where Westbound Amtrak 41 had to stop in Derry Township, near Latrobe due to a male passenger jumping off the train at trackspeed, which is reported to be as much as 50-60 mph. The man in that incident was airlifted to a Johnstown Hospital, condition unknown at this point. Dave Williams http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nsaltoonajohnstown

Latest report on Yahoo groups is that a 24 year old male was walking beside the tracks. Crew blew horn. Then male stepped right in front of the train. Looks like suicide. Dave Williams http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nsaltoonajohnstown
