Probably should have skipped that track.


But that's unfortunate. Headphones all the time is not the way to go. Need to be careful near railroad tracks, anytime is train time.

Terrible to hear that. Feel bad for the family. And the conductor. That's awful.

quote:

The train's conductor told investigators that the Pulsifer was walking along the center of the tracks with headphones over his ears, the Police Department said. The conductor tried to stop the train and did everything possible to notify the teen. Pulsifer died at the scene.

Was it his first day ever of school or did the school just suck at teaching?
