Two 13-year-old girls were struck and killed by an N.J. Transit express passenger train as they walked along a curving stretch of railroad tracks in Maplewood, N.J., shortly after dark yesterday, the authorities said.

A boy who was with them injured an arm when he leaped out of the path of the path of the onrushing locomotive, which was operated by N.J. Transit, the state public transportation agency.

The accident occurred at 5:57 P.M. as the Hoboken-to-Summit train rounded around a bend and approached the Baker's Street bridge in Maplewood, according to Anthony L. Grazioso, a spokesman for N.J. Transit.

Mr. Grazioso said the engineer saw several people trying to get off the tracks just west of the Maplewood station, but could not stop the train in time. The engineer was not identified.


Mr. Grazioso said the two victims, whose identities were withheld by the police, were pronounced dead at the scene. He said they had lived in the nearby community of Millburn and had been walking along the tracks between Millburn and Maplewood with four boys, including the one whose arm was hurt.

The four-car electric-powered train that hit them, No. 309, had pulled out of Hoboken at 5:11 P.M., Mr. Grazioso said. It was an express on the Morristown line, and had been traveling at a speed 40 to 45 miles an hour when it rounded the curve.

Some of the murder victims names killed by NJ Transit and Coach USA bus drivers and train engineers This list is staggering numbers of death I found that was online that was reported. It is more murder caused by NJ Transit/ Coach USA deadly bus drivers and train engineers. I want my readers to know that some of these article links have been removed offline by NJ Transit/Coach USA attorneys . The bus companies have a person to suffer the internet to what articles are written about the countless innocent lives killed by their so call hired train driver.  If the bus companies reported, the bus companies have their attorney's to contact the companies and request them to remove the article that shines the light on the truth. There is too much corruption, cover-up, political favoritism, or nepotism going on with the companies and Vehicular Homicide Prosecutor Department. The bus drivers and train engineers go to work and get pay, while the victim's families have to
