There have been several newspaper articles expressing deep sympathy for the
kid's family and friends.

However, nothing was said about the train crew.  From the photo, it was an
ex-Metroliner cab car, so the engineer was right up front.  I suspect the
train screw was deeply traumatized by the event.

I hope this doesn't lead to copy cat incidents.  In the past, sometimes a NEC
suicide would trigger several more.
