All cleanup efforts have been halted around the area where a train derailed and pulled a bridge down over a road in Northbrook, crushing Burton and Zorine Linder, and spilling thousands of tons of coal. The Linders were in the car when the train wrecked and their bodies were discovered during the cleanup.
Attorneys have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Union Pacific railroad on behalf of the Linder estate and family. They also requested cleanup work be stopped. A Cook County judge ordered an injunction that stopped all activity within 400 feet of where the Linders were found.
