[Honey]

How sad. I can't handle news like that.

[Ted]

Yeah.
I saw all the patrol cars and the firetruck on my way to work about 5:00am Thursday morning but didn't find out what had happened until that evening. :(

[PeachyKeen]

That is sad. I can't imagine that pain she must have went through....

[Bamboo]

Sad yes, but who in their right mind would try to crawl UNDER a train?! I can't stop shaking my head. Under the train.....:confused:

[rollinthunder]

She might not have been in her right mind...

[optimistik1]

they sent her body off for a toxicology report....still, so sad...

[Guru]

We have an immediate frustration attack when we read things like this.
People find themselves in very unfortunate circumstances in this life.

[Ted]

I'm guessing she tried to cross under the coupling between two cars where the wheels are very close together instead of under the middle of one of the cars where the wheels are 30 to 40 feet apart.

[optimistik1]

I would have crossed above the couplings, if I were in that big of a hurry and HAD to cross over...this breaks my heart! She was only a year older than my youngest son!

[Hawkeye]

When I was a dumbass kid, we use to go under the middle of the cars, one time on a dare with a very slow moving train. Looking back, I should have been dead at least 10 times. :rolleyes:
