of holiday travelers, enjoying perhaps their first trip, etc.

It's been a while since I have heard of any MO accidents, so a surprise. I would think that more than likely, the dump truck is at fault, being that the trains have been using that set of tracks forever more. What a mess and a shame that lives were lost, and I know some got injured. A terrible shame and I wish all to heal fast and fully.
