I see tons of people in that age group out and about, fully absorbed by one or more digital devices (smartphone, headphones...). Proto-zombies.

How else does one not notice a train coming at them before crossing the tracks?

Last night I was driving my son back and was on busy Glendale Ave. in North Central Phoenix. A young man was on ear buds, looking at his phone, in the crosswalk, at 10:00 PM. He was wearing ALL black clothing. He DID have the walk light, but a car was making a left hand turn from a perpendicular street on his green light towards the crosswalk and didn't see him until the last second. The zombie did not notice until the car cam to a halt inches from him. Close enough that the zombie placed his hand on the hood.

If nothing else she should have felt the vibrations a moving train generates.
