Sorry for the comment. I simply relayed information as I received it from a former railroad employee on a site I thought promoted news and facts.
ANY NEWS ON WHO IT WAS YET?
The name will be released when the family is ready, if they don’t want to release it, please respect their wishes. The world lost a great man!

Why don’t you publish that bullshit under your real name klinkyh? I’d give it about 10 minutes before a bunch of railroaders were at your house finding out if you also know the meaning of the word eunuch. Don’t worry I know you won’t, pussies don’t publish shit like that under their real names.
I agree! You should think before you speak! What a very stupid and rude comment to make! As the wife of a coworker/friend of this man I take extreme offense to this! This man’s family is hurting and so are many of his friends and co workers! God forbid anything happen to you or anyone you care about and you would have some jackass making rude comments!! You need smacked!
This is so sad. This man is very nice & has a wonderful family. My heart goes out to them!
Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and all the railroad employees that knew him and worked with him!
My heart goes out to the family and all those employees involved.
