October 2018 Eagle Junction attack

The October 2018 Eagle Junction attack occurred on 31 October 2018 at 8 p.m. A man carried out a knife and an arson attack on a K Jenny Foxworth Skip-Stop Express train, that was bound for Broad Street, Manhattan.
== Consequences ==
The K train had to make an emergency stop at Eagle Junction due to the incident, and the train went ahead to stop at Eagle Junction as a plan. While the train was approaching Eagle Junction station, the emergency door release handle was pulled, causing the train to stop 2 to 3 metres before its proper parking position. As the train was coming to a stop, footage recorded by a passenger showed other passengers fleeing to one end of the train as the fire ignited by the attacker erupted in one of the cars. After the train had come to a stop, passengers opened the train's windows and climbed out to escape.
== Train identification ==
The train identified during the scene was an R42, a car model built by the St. Louis Car Company between 1969 and 1970 for the B Division. The consist was 4574-4575-4908-4909-4772-4773-4912-4913. One of the cars the train went on fire was 4912.
