There was a mention today in the LA Times that the most recent victim removed was possibly the engineer of the UP freight train. The article said that UP had not made a statement, and that it was difficult going trying to cut through the wreckage to reach the areas where there might still be survivors. Perhaps they haven't said anything because they haven't recovered the UP crew yet, and there is a very slim possibility that they are alive. Just a thought.
It's too bad the rail system in this country is so underdeveloped. Freight and passenger trains having to share the same rails is what causes huge Amtrak delays on the lines out this way.
