The Amtrak trail struck the rear of the parked freight train around 11:32 a.m. at 48th Street and Shields Avenue, Fire Department spokeswoman Eve Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez said there are about 150 passengers on board and confirmed a report that a conductor is pinned inside.

Not to make light of any injuries but I did work with a railroad once.
Trust me there will be more injured people than the number of passengers on both trains.
Some were still sleeping when this was announced and as I type they are frantically trying to get to the crash sight and stake their injury claim.
I know what I speak of.
