collision, but it wasn't nice in any event. The NYT article stated that
police were on the scene and treating the area like a crime scene.
Wouldn't they want to do that in any event, considering that this was an

When to label something as any particular kind of event probably
depends on local provisions. The NTSB, whose job it is to investigate
such things, probably doesn't care how it's classified, they'll just
figure out what happened.
They think service _might_ be restored by Monday morning; they're
working on repairing the tracks, which apparently got quite torn up.
