I'm assuming this is bullshite without a credible link to a news story. There's no way they didn't hear a fricking train, who was most probably blasting his horn.


I post a link from the UP railroad on the opening post.

Here's the Salt Lake City Tribune article (when the third girl died three days after the accident)

It's illegal to walk on train tracks. No sympathy here.

Double tracks, and one train was right in front of them passing by (a lot of noise and distraction).

They were off the tracks, but when the first train passed by, they moved out into the middle of the two tracks.

They wouldn't hear Train B because they were so close to Train A and it's loud enough to mask the sound. How hard is that to understand?

And my Dad worked for the railroad for 40+ years. He's talked a little about things he's seen but some he won't. One that comes to mind of when he saw a guy's legs sheared clean off when he tried to play "dodge" with the train.

that makes sense. Don't frick around trains. They look stupid and relatively slow but they don't have a single shred of mercy and will kill you without so much as a spasm of emotion.

So they are standing in the middle of two tracks next to an already passing train?

In that case, they are fricking retarded.
