About 25 miles north of Jackson, the train derailment believed to be an accident was declared a state of emergency. Of the 68 passengers and 12 crew members on the train, one passenger was identified as dead and about 65 people suffered "minor to critical injuries".
The train had one engine, one baggage car, seven passenger cars, and one unoccupied passenger car and all of the nine cars derailed with the first seven falling on to its sides. The train accident tracks are owned, operated, and maintained by Canadian National/Illinois Central Railway. The train wreck was Amtrak''s first passenger fatality since the April 18, 2002 train derailment that left four passengers dead and more than 150 injured.
