Unless he was on a curve, I can’t believe the engineer wouldn’t have seen him and been blowing his horn. A fit guy could have jumped or rolled out of the way fairly easily. Had to have been seriously not paying attention, unless the engineer didn’t see him until way too late and didn’t blow the horn.

How can this happen? Were they playing loud music during the shoot? Yelling? Obviously, attention deficit disorder by the whole crew.

Who the hell gets hit by a train?
Don’t realize you are on tracks? Can’t see or hear it coming?

Unless one steps far enough away, a high speed train creates a suction which can pull you back in to the side of the passenger cars as the train passes.

I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me...
Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....

Same here; when I see stories like this on the news I always wonder what news they are trying to prevent people from seeing (and go directly to FR and Drudge).
