New Fences Erected At Site Of Fatal Train Derailment

Howard County authorities and CSX have already taken steps to try to prevent another tragedy like the one that left two women dead when a coal train derailed earlier this month in Ellicott City. 

For one, a new fence is now in place at the top of the concrete stairs leading to the elevated tracks over Main Street near where the two women were sitting when the rail cars tipped over and buried them last week

County Executive Ken Ulman said county police have increased patrols around the tracks to discourage anyone from trespassing on railroad property.
