1 Killed, 4 Hurt After Train Derails

Hundreds of rescue workers with dogs searched through spilled coal, rubble and snow before finding the body of Eddie Lee Rogers, 15, in the remnants of the living room about 12 hours after the morning crash, officials said. Coal and debris pelted the two-story house, which was pushed 25 feet off its foundation by the impact of the derailed car.
