          Since our taxes were wasted on a dismal and unconscionable 25 minute emergency crew response, maybe they can use some of the money to clean up some of that graffiti on the overpass?

          It had to have hit something on the track, that is my guess. Hopefully officials have a clearer idea what happened soon. My heart is saddened for all those affected by this.
