Date: 02/18/19 17:40 Re: #7 Hits Car in Brookfield WI Author: stevelv A bunch of media reports out there on Google. The second to last sentence in this one has a slight inkling it could be more than carelessness or stupidity. "A witness told FOX6 News he heard the train horn blow -- and saw the vehicle go around the barriers and stop on the tracks." ...Sad either way.

My recollection from riding 7 was that we were accelerating in that area but didn’t get up to 79 until the edge of the suburbs Date: 02/18/19 18:33 Re: #7 Hits Car in Brookfield WI Author: chakk sure sounds to me like suicide by train.
Date: 02/18/19 18:36 Re: #7 Hits Car in Brookfield WI Author: steve4031 I’m on 8. We came to a stop at 6:40 pm. Were on the move at 8:20. Per announcement from conductor 8 will stop at Mitchell airport and Sturetevent to accommodate a few passengers getting off at these stops.

Train is all good over the switch and on it's way. The crew was replaced. Posted from Android Date: 02/18/19 19:06 Re: #7 Hits Car in Brookfield WI Author: dan was wondering what the service disruption was
