A train struck and injured a pedestrian ...

In the good old days, they’d kill ya. Stupid feminized trains.

Had to be moving slowly, and maybe an oblique hit. But the tossing 50 ft gets me - he survived?

I was rode a commuter train some 10 years ago with a man who sort of witnessed 1 of our co-commuters “disappear” 1 morning in front of him - she walked out on the track right in front of a freighter. She was hit straight on and tossed some 250 feet, onto the nearby race course property. He found her and she was all in pieces; definitely nothing left of life there. It was extremely sad for alot of us commuters.
