Happy there were no serious injuries...news report is not clear - I take it the work train was following the SEPTA, and didn't quite get stopped (bad judgement on 1/2 the range of vision?). Always hate to see incidents like this, even w/o major consequence. Bob C.

I see from the headline that the 5 people from the passenger train didn't count as injured; only the 4 on the "workers" train.
