What a shame, and I use to ride this train into NYC I believe, mostly the train we took ran from NYC to Philly and back, but once in a while we got the one with a bar on it and that was the one that went from DC to NYC, man that has got to be some scary stuff to be involved in.

A sixth person has died from the Amtrak derailment near Philadelphia Tuesday night that left a horrific scene of twisted metal and badly injured commuters on one of the nation's busiest train lines.
As many as six more people remain critically injured, some were unaccounted for and more than 140 more riders were being evaluated and treated at local hospitals, as federal investigators were on scene to determine what caused the accident. Amtrak and city authorities estimated that 238 passengers and five Amtrak employees were on the Northeast Regional Train 188, traveling from Washington, D.C., to New York City, when it went off the rails at about 9:30 p.m. local time. As the train neared a curve in a residential area, it suddenly slowed, according to one witness.
"The train started to decelerate, like someone had slammed the brake," Paul Cheung, an Associated Press employee who was watching a movie on Netflix when disaster struck. "Then suddenly you could see everything starting to shake. You could see people's stuff flying over me."
