They haul through the countryside. Sad.

While I agree it is sad, it is a risk you take when going on and taking pictures of railroads... They should of been more careful.

The eastbound engineer tried to warn the girls by sounding the train horn, but was unable to get their attention, Cannon said.
I really don't understand. How can you be in the middle of train tracks and not pay attention to a train horn?

So sad

So sad
MP3 player, maybe... Who knows. Sometimes people just don't pay attention. A lady got ran over by a forklift at work a few years ago - big noisy forklift with flashing lights, she didn't see it (broke her hip, if I recall correctly). The driver's view was obstructed by whatever he was moving (which is also not good).


Sad though, however it happened.

Sounds like they should have just hit the deck and waited for the trains to pass...
