Actually, I believe the incident Paul is referring to, when our friend
and SAC member, Brian Vorndam from Yuma got hit by a train, happened
further east, at/near Gila Bend. He had stopped his vehicle >on the
tracks< while scouting for an occultation observing site... Brian
survived the crash.... his telescope and car did not.
