Passenger Trains > Train #65 in accident last night in West Kingstown, RIDate: 04/19/15 07:42 Train #65 in accident last night in West Kingstown, RI Author: Wurli1938 Amtrak #65 was involved in a fatal accident in West Kingstown, RI last night. http://www.turnto10.com/story/28839929/train-and-car-collide-in-south-kingstown
With the padding in NY, it was only about 25 minutes late arriving in WAS, but was over 6 hours late arriving in New Haven.

The crossing at that location was closed years ago, so something fishy was going on with the vehicle. http://www.providencejournal.com/article/20150419/NEWS/150419246 Edited 2 time(s).

Amtrak put together a close to ontime #65 makeup train that went 1hour and 45 minutes from New York and ran all the way to Newport News and the inbound almost 7 hour late original #65 was taken to Sunnyside and turned out as train #159.
