Headline is wrong it should be "Pedestrian is killed by train in Junction City". Train was moving in a lawful maner when the victim tried to beat the train. I don't understand why people think that they are going to win. Railroad has placed No Trespassing signs trying to keep pedestrian and trespassers off the track for their safety. Still people bet with their lives and lose. There is no where that important to be. 
The loss of this one person affects how many people. Left behind are family's and loved ones wondering why this happened. How about the train crew knowing at the last possible second they are not going to get stopped. Police and first responders knowing they are in all likelihood coming up to fatality. These people live with this incident for the rest of their lives. Those few seconds between life or death are precious, think and choose wisely.
