Looks like the Illini hit a piece of farm fertilizer equipment exiting a field last night ner Champaign, killing the driver of the equipment and badly damaging the engine. Sounds like only minor injuries on the train.

392 didn't get into Chicago until 3:45 this morning.
It has been a rough few months for Illnois trains and fatalities.
