ARIZONA TRAIN WRECK

Information Hotline: 1-800-905-1514
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In the early morning hours of October 9, 1995, the twelve-car Amtrak
"Sunset Limited," bound from Miami to Los Angeles, derailed in Hyder,
Arizona. There were 248 people on board. The first eight cars left
the track killing one Amtrak employee and injuring more than 100
passengers.

Indications are that the railroad tracks had been tampered with and
the derailment was not an accident. The Federal Bureau of Investigation
is investigating the Arizona train wreck as a criminal matter.

The FBI is appealing to the public for assistance. A special phone line
has been established for this purpose. Contact the FBI via telephone
at 1-800-905-1514.
