Guy was on the tracks when a train came, was told to get off, didn't do so.
What other information do you need?
Darwin Award. Or suicide by train.
Train victim.
Those evil trains just attacking people. We clearly need common sense train laws.
SoCal ping

Obviously, ban trains!
Probably not too wise to try to take on a train.
In lieu of more flowers, donate to the Human Fund.
Exactly when did this public display of flowers on death sites (not gravesites) begin?
I'll show my age by stating that I do not ever recall this act as a young man. Seemed to start around the mid-1990's. Up till then, this practice was confined to 3rd world countries.
Yours truly,
A curmudgeon.
Were these guy deaf, dumb and blind ? How can you not be aware of a frigging train ?
I take this train everyday. Los Angeles allows tent cities next to the tracks. The bums get despondent and kill themselves. It happens once a month on my train. Once a day on all the SoCal trains.
They keep us on the train for 2 or 3 hours waiting for the coroner to do their job. It infuriates me each time.
California politics. They should not allow the bums to live right next to the train tracks. They do because it’s basically an unincorporated area.
This could lead to a never ending feedback loop which could ultimately claim millions.

Decades ago there was an engineer at my company whose son and wife both committed suicide (at different times) by laying down on railroad tracks........I thought that was very strange.
Wanted to commit suicide and have a hook to be sure it was widely publicized?
Can’t wait for the high speed trains to show up.
Someone leave some dandelions for this one. Don’t buy flowers for a fool.
