any one know the man who died on the tracks ,and if he was local haven't heard much about it on the news or radio

It was a sad evening, not only for the family but for those dealing with the incident.

Very true. It will have been a traumatic experience for the Driver and Guard. Not forgetting the paramedics and police too. Some Drivers take many months before they can drive a train again.

anybody know who the man was that was killed on the tracks as there is nothing in local papers thanks gayle

That seems to me to be a very intrusive question.
