Authorities yesterday identified a man struck and killed Monday by a train headed to Philadelphia from Atlantic City.
Steven Carroll, 31, of Pitman, was hit about 4:30 p.m. just east of the Lindenwold train station, according to a NJ Transit spokeswoman. "It's not clear what he was doing on the tracks," she said. The conductor hit the emergency brakes but was unable to stop the train, which was carrying 70 passengers, the spokeswoman said. The train left Atlantic City at 3:30 p.m. and was scheduled to arrive at 30th Street Station at 5:15 p.m. The accident shut down the Atlantic City rail line in both directions until 7:15 p.m.
