UPDATED: A collision Sunday night between a car and two trains in Bealeton happened after a Honda Civic got stuck on the tracks along a private section of Bealeton Road, according to Virginia State Police. ... The crash occurred at 7:50 p.m. Sunday, March 3, on Bealeton Road near the intersection with Collins Lane.

The occupants of the 2008 Honda Civic -- an 18-year-old driver and three passengers -- escaped the car unharmed before the two trains, which were coming from opposite directions, hit the vehicle, Virginia State Police Trooper J.R. Lewis said in an email Monday afternoon.

Lewis said Amtrak reported some injuries among passengers, but an Amtrak spokeswoman disputed that report later Monday afternoon, saying no passengers aboard the train were injured.

"There were no injuries to the 180 passengers or crew members on board the train. Amtrak police are cooperating with local law enforcement to investigate the incident," Beth Toll, a spokeswoman for Amtrak, said in an email. ... The passenger train involved in the collision was an Amtrak "Crescent Train 19," which was on its way from New York to New Orleans, Toll said.

1. That's the train we took at Thanksgiving

It crosses a LOT of roads on the way. We got seats in the front car and the whistle was almost constant.
