Graves, the 65-year-old contractor who was struck and killed by an Amtrak Acela train in Providence yesterday, was multiple blunt traumatic injuries, the state medical examiners' office announced this afternoon. The medical examiners' office identified Graves as being from Delaware. Graves, who worked for HNTB Holdings of Kansas City, Mo., and two other workers were inspecting the tracks when the accident occurred, according to Tracy Connell, an Amtrak spokeswoman. Amtrak has refused to identify the two workers who were injured. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

I'm a retired Signal Maintainer from Amtrak.
A question you should put to Amtrak is "How do three men provide on track protection to themselfs". You will notice than when investergators were on tracks there were flagmen in place to warn of trains. On a curve like that one they neen three flagmen. One at each end of curve and one with the men working. With three men there is no way could they preform ther inspection and flag for trains.
