See photos 1 and 2.   

Apparently the train was running 'wrong main' account of equipment problems with another train.  And there was even had a flagman, too.  But the side clearances look pretty close.  Comments to this article say that the victim was a supervisor from another division who was assigned here to help out during the strike - don't know whether that's actually true or not, though.

Condolences to the family.
