Just saw this on my feed not much info .. Looks like it was a MoW employee.

Keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.

An Amtrak employee was struck and killed by a New Jersey Transit train during Tuesday’s early-morning commute. The incident happened at about 4:45 a.m. as the train passed through New Brunswick, NJ. The train was carrying about 300 passengers from Trenton to Penn Station in Manhattan. The Amtrak employee was working on the tracks, which are part of the Northeast Corridor and shared by Amtrak and New Jersey Transit. Amtrak officials are investigating the incident.

I've been checking the on-line editions of two North Jersey newspapers, The Record (northjersey.com) and the Newark Star-Ledger (nj.com) the past two days for any updates.  Nothing.

I hope this poor man is remembered by his family, friends, and co-workers, because the media's forgotten about him already.  What a shame.
