December 8, 1985
TIVOLI, N.Y. (AP) _ An Amtrak passenger train traveling about 90 mph slammed into an automobile at a crossing in this Hudson River community Sunday, killing all three people in the car, authorities said.
There were no other injuries in the afternoon accident at the crossing, which has neither warning lights nor a barrier, said Dutchess County Sheriff Fred Scoralick.
The train, which was heading from Albany to New York City, about 100 miles south of here, did not derail, and its passengers were transferred to another train to resume their journey, said Amtrak spokesman Clifford Black.
Scoralick said the car was driving south along a gravel road parallel to the tracks as the southbound train approached. The engineer saw the car and sounded a warning whistle but the car turned across the tracks and was struck broadside, he said.
The dead were identified as the driver, Kenneth G. Bacon Jr., 31, of Red Hook; Sheila R. Roberts, 23, of Rhinecliff; and Mark A. Staley, 24, of Rhinebeck.
The 90 passengers and five crew members of the train, No. 80, called the Bear Mountain, were transferred to another train which departed after the car’s wreckage was cleared away, Scoralick said.
The tracks are owned and kept up by Conrail, but state and local authorities are responsible for maintaining crossings, Black said. A pair of warning signs was posted at the intersection, he said.
″Unfortunately, grade crossing accidents are fairly common,″ said Black, adding that there are about 550 deaths from grade-crossing crashes annually for all railroads in the country.
Some beer containers were found in the car, but authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy before determining if alcohol contributed to the accident, Scoralick said.
