And this is just from the last two days !!!!!!!!! UP Railroad employee fatally injured in Riverdale, Utah train accident A 38-year-old Union Pacific Railroad employee was killed Monday after police believe he was run over by a train car. Police speculate the employee was riding on the car to link it up to a train when he slipped underneath, Detective Nolan Geilmann said. The victim's name has not been released pending notification of relatives. Police were notified about 03:50 Monday of the accident in rail yards about 30 miles north of Salt Lake City. Both the Riverdale police and Union Pacific are investigating the accident. - The Associated Press, KSL-TV5, Salt Lake City, UT, courtesy Larry W.

Years back as a teen I thought railway officials were overreacting to trespassers on property. And this is during the time when railfans here in the southeast were "tolerated" in some yards as long as they behaved. But since then I've read of so many stories of dead or injured railfans that I fully agree that tough measures have to be taken, especially for the fans that actually want to be "knuckle headed" about trespassing.
