    It seems that an inbound METRA train of Southwest Service has "tagged" a vehicle at the 97th St, and Central Ave. grade crossing. Haven't heard yet if any fatalities. This is on the NS trackage(former Wabash main). The upside(if any) is that a large hospital is about a mile away.

    :( Is "tagged" a local RR term?

    There was one fatality, the driver. He went around lowered gates.
