NTSB: Amtrak assistant conductor heard engineer say train struck by “something”



AND THERE'S ALSO THIS:

NBCNews video: Passenger on Amtrak Locomotive Says His Train Was Also Struck by Object
A passenger traveling along the same route the night that Amtrak Train 188 derailed in Philadelphia told NBC News that an object hit his train, shattering the window. 
The account from Johns Hopkins student Justin Landis makes him the third person to report a projectile hitting a train Tuesday night in that area, and comes a day after the National Transportation Safety Board said investigators were working to determine whether something struck the doomed Amtrak train before it derailed. Eight people were killed and about 200 others were injured in the accident.
