Fatal Accident with Boston Commuter Train

[mackb4]

MoW safety is an overlooked thing when it comes to public information.

Those guys face alot of potential accidents all day long that are subject just to their line of work.It’s a very demanding and physical job.And they practice safety as a #1 priority.They are on the loud, body beating equipment for hours,while all along the trains roll by them.

And we as transportation workers watch after our fellow brothers with the upmost attention.

I pray for the deceased workers families,and those injured,it is a sad day [:(] .

Agreed here. It’s truely a tragic day for the victoms and their families. While your praying for them also give a prayer for the train crew and survivors of the work crew, they will live with this the rest of their lives. I’m still haunted from an accident 40 years ago. Ken

Although I’ve not been involved in a “railroad worker” related accident,I’ve been invovled in 3 accidents which involved motor vehicles.Two at grade crossings,one not.

One resulted in a fatality only weeks after being qualified as an Engineer back in 1993.

It really bothered me ,real bad for a long time.It’s not as bad as it once was,but I still think about it often.

Most of the general public don’t think about this everytime they “try to beat a train”.

So yes the train crew will definitely be in my prayers also.

Thanks so much for reminding me.[^]

I hope your situation is better now also
