Analysis
While taxiing for takeoff, a jetstream 31 operating as a commuter carrier to dayton, Ohio, collided with the fourth baggage cart of a four car train. The visibility on the ramp was reduced due to rain and fog. The baggage cart driver stated that he was clearing the fog from the windshield and did not see the aircraft in time to avoid the collision. The airport was lighted in the vicinity of the mishap. The pilot also had the aircraft lights on.
