I was just about to ask how the hell he was kayaking on train tracks, but fortunately I read the second paragraph and avoided a scolding.

DeLaVergne was about 200 feet inside the 450-foot tunnel when the train struck ... Rain may have forced him to seek shelter in the tunnel, they said. Rain forced him 200 feet inside the tunnel? That's hardly plausible. I gotta wonder what substances he had injested to do something that crazy.

You'll never the train coming.
I had to perform the summary investigation (non-criminal) after a soldier was hit by an electric train in Hanau, Germany. It threw him over 100 feet and they found him the next morning.

Note: Don't pitch camp inside of train tunnels. It will cut down on the odds of being hit by a train.

National Geographic Adventure magazine named DeLaVergne a 2005 adventurer of the year for paddling the 50-mile run of the Stikine RiverHe don't need no Stikine River no more.
