UPDATE: They found some body parts near Red Hill and Edinger, not far from the Feb. 11th accident. Still looking for the main part of the individual. I don't envy the guys who have to do this work.
It appears to be the same train, #608, that was involved in the 2/11 accident. According to the photos this was the same locomotive that was involved in the previous incident - #892. Three more and it'll be an ace.
Train #608 seems to be the train of choice for all your suicide needs. Given the schedules the Metrolink engineers work, it's possible the same engineer was involved in both accidents. Engineers are going to be a little shaky coming through Tustin for awhile.
UPDATE: Train has been offloaded of passengers after about 90 minutes. Authorities won't allow it to be moved, so I'm guessing part of their victim is still underneath.
UPDATE - From the OC Register:
A man jumped from behind a fence onto tracks and was struck by a commuter train between the Santa Ana and Tustin train stations Thursday night, authorities said.
Tustin police Sgt. Luis Garcia said the man was killed.
Authorities responded to reports of a person being struck by a train near Red Hill Avenue about 7:40 p.m., Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Greg McKeown said.

I was on the train. Just got home.
I cross that track every day to go to school I think that this is very weird. Both times I had just went over them about thirty minutes before the events.
