Train Derails causes 2 deaths

A CSX train hauling coal derailed from a bridge in this historic town outside Baltimore early Tuesday, killing two teens who were on the tracks and crushing several vehicles parked below a rail bridge, police said.

Howard County police identified the victims as Elizabeth Conway Nass and Rose Louese Mayr of Ellicott City, Maryland. Nass was a student at James Madison University in Virginia and Mayr was a student at the University of Delaware, police said.

The women had both posted photos and updates to their Twitter pages, one of their feet hanging off the bridge in Ellicott City, about 13 miles west of Baltimore, and another, which read: ‘Drinking on top of the Ellicott City sign.’
