AutoTrain 52(8) strikes trespassers
Author: GenePoon

Passenger on board Amtrak AutoTrain 52(8) reports that the train struck one or more trespassers on the right-of-way at 615pm near De Leon Springs, FL.  Conductor estimates a four-hour delay so it sounds like fatality.

Some people just have a death wish, conscious or not.

About 20 minutes ago, train still stopped pending arrival of coroner, expected in about another half hour.  Coroner has authority to release the train when he says so.
