    Payers to you and your friends family.

    I lost a friend similarly about 25 years ago. Tragic and senseless.

    Thank you for the kind words. No closer to getting any answers. This was a shortcut she used to go to a part-time job, also a college student, and they've lived there a long time.

    Newspaper article said the person was wearing earbuds. I quit listening to the radio in the car because I can't hear what is going on around me. If I learned anything from military service it was "situational awareness".

    With as much noise and vibration freight trains make it's crazy that this stuff happens. Too many questions.

    Walking near the tracks, if you are too close the train can literally suck you under. It happens. I lived near the tracks until I was 19. I have seen too many tragedies, most of them to friends.

    My condolences to the family.
