LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Federal investigators said Sunday they plan to obtain the cell phone records of two teenagers and the engineer of a commuter train to determine whether text messages played a part in a head-on collision that killed 25 people. The Metrolink train had failed to stop for a red signal, triggering the Friday collision with a freight train, according to the commuter train's operators. In addition to the 25 fatalities, more than 130 passengers were injured. On Sunday, Kitty Higgins of the National Transportation Safety Board said investigators have been in touch with two teenagers who told a local television station that they had been exchanging text messages with the Metrolink train engineer before the impact. The engineer, who has not been identified officially, was a subcontractor employed by another company and died in the crash. MORE HERE: www.cnn.com/2008/US/09/15/train.collision/?iref=mpstoryview

It's terribly sad. My heart goes out to everyone who lost friends and family members.
