Death on the Penn Line

Just when you thought it was safe to go outside, this happens:
"A 22-year-old Amtrak employee was struck by an Amtrak train at 5:25 a.m. Wednesday between the Bowie and New Carrollton MARC stations. The man is in critical condition at a Prince George's County hospital." (from WJLA).

First it was a fatality. Now apparently the poor devil is still alive but in critical condition. The trains have started running again, apparently, though they are "extremely overcrowded."

I guess I'll head up to the station....taking pictures!
