Post by: WMAveteran on May 17, 2013, 09:00:19 PM

49 injured, four seriously, as trains collide in Connecticut     (http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/130517-Bridgeport-trains-845p.photoblog600.jpg)

All train operations are halted between New York and Boston.
An east bound train derailed at 6:10pm EDT and struck a west bound train between Fairfield and Bridgeport CT.  Unfortunately those look like brand new M8 cars.
