Sounds to me that she’s a hero giving her life for her beloved pet. Very tragic. I hope that her dog is with her love one’s or atleast made sure is saved from being put down by the shelter. Prayers for her, her family and those she left behind.

Thank you Robin Cox for the reason she was killed. Prayers for her family and friends.

Hopefully the dog will recover after being traumatized with the train hitting his owner.

Prayers also to the train crew and emergency personnel.

Oh btw mr train master please get your ears checked ASAP because if you think trains aren’t loud your deaf as a rock. Remember the old saying that tornado sounds like a locomotive. Think before you speak !!!!!!

She was trying to save her dog that got his lease caught in the tracks and thats why she was hit. She was not drunk or on drugs. The dog has been taking to a shelter.

Back in the late 1980’s I worked as a Railroad Police Officer up in the northeast. One night while walking through a railroad yard doing a normal patrol for criminal activity, I began walking the tracks in between railroad cars. If it were not for the train engine’s head light reflecting off the box cars near me, I would have (without a doubt) been run over by that train. I never heard it coming and was lucky to step in between two railroad cars until the train passed me. Former Trainmaster is very correct about trains moving quietly. Most of the train verse pedestrian accidents I investigated were either people committing suicide or trying to jump a train to ride, but falling off and under the train. No matter how it happened, it is still a loss of life that is regrettable. Prayers to the family of this victim.

“North Escambia didn’t have any of the details and stated multiple bits of erroneous information.”

We just pulled the story we wrote and the media report distributed by the Florida Highway Patrol. Our story and the FHP report match 100%. Anything “erroneous” came from the FHP.

One of the reasons so many people get hit by trains is because of the same false assumption that commenter Bill Tyler is spreading about trains being loud. Steel wheels on a steel track can be extremely quiet on straight track when not braking. And the locomotive can sound as quiet as a low hum that can be easily drowned out by environmental noises, or dampened by trees surrounding the track. It is not loud until it passes you by, then it’s too late. Please do not assume you will hear a train coming from behind, or feel vibrations, or hear a whistle. I’ve had to review video of sober adults sitting on rail and being hit by a locomotive, they never heard it coming, you may not either.
