No words can describe how i feel about the brother we have lost. there is mixed feelings about this accident ( that i feel and wont go into at this time) but if this family needs a shoulder to cry on, lean on im here. and also to the crew he was working with dont be affraid or to macho to ask for assistance this is when you need your brothers and sisters the most and we are more than ready to help. may god bless and help you in recovering from your loss.

Walt and I wi***o extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family. There are absolutely no
words to express what I feel.

May God above be with his family, and give them comfort and peace in knowing that
their loved one is with Him.

(1) My sympathy to the family

(2) My shared frustrations with other railroaders on the forum that this had to happen at all.

(3) Fits the pattern that (unfortunately) it was a relatively young employee in terms of years in service.

(4) Before anybody passes judgement, please let FRA and NTSB investigate.
