Amtrak train strikes eagle in rare encounter

[chuljin]

Once a day or so, I search Google News for 'amtrak', and today found this:

A symbol of American rail collided with a symbol of American might Thursday on a lonely stretch of track between Wilmington, Del., and Baltimore. Sadly, the bald eagle was no match for the Amtrak passenger train.

Rest of the story here.
I usually don't post here any Amtrak stories (there's another set of fora for that), except that when I posted it on my wall on Facebook, our own Anthony commented:

Get out...I was on that train!

:giggle:

1. This story really would be ironic had it been Nos. 21 or 22 involved,,,

and

2. "The train arrived at Washington Union Station two hours later with the bird stuck to the locomotive, like an emblem," was my fave line of the story,,,
