At about 7:15 a.m. CT, an Amtrak employee was fatally injured at our mechanical facility in Chicago. The incident occurred in the vicinity of a service and inspection building. No other injuries were reported, and a full investigation is underway.<br /><br /><br /><br />At this time, the name of the deceased is not available. As soon as possible, we will be working with the family members of the deceased to make sure they get the support they need.<br /><br /><br /><br />As a reminder to everyone, our Amtrak Employee Assistance Program<br />(EAP) is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to any Amtrak employee or family member who needs support.
