Not according to the article. One non-life threatening injury.

Some dummy here in town got grazed by a NS train last night and had the main road across from the Air Force base closed for hours. Why people think they have the right away as opposed to the train is beyond me..

The only time the train loses is the emotional toll on the crew when some dumbass gets in their way.

It was amazing that those idiots standing by the tracks were not killed. People are either getting stupider or the stupid are breeding more idiots.

My brother just retired from spending 42 years with the railroad. He said there has been many times that a car (sometimes loaded with kids) or a truck takes a chance with a train. As he says you can not stop a train on a dime.
