Wayne crossing incident at Merriman Rd.

Unread post by MRC_Andrew »

A bit delayed in reporting, but within the last hour it appeared that a westbound NS train was stopped at Merriman Rd in Wayne, with the head end about half-way to Winnifred St. Many police in the area, climbing into and milling around the lead unit. Don't have any other info.

(edited to add direction of train)

UPDATE:

Per channel 7 news, one man was hit. Sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. An earlier report may have said two were hit.

I was railfanning in Romulus and did hear something about somebody being in emergency... now I know why.
