In other news, on Friday afternoon a northbound Sounder N" Train hit a pedestrian ($) on the track and killed him. Our thoughts are with the victim's family. STB editor Michael Smith was on an Amtrak Cascades train at that moment, which was behind the Sounder train, and his train was stopped for a few hours south of Carkeek Park because of the incident with the Sounder train.
This is an open thread.
