Sad.

But if the title is correct, this was two years ago...?

The thread title is wrong. The incident occurred 10/12/2015.

BTW: The headline in the Elkhart Truth was "pedestrian killed after being hit by train". Killed after seemed the wrong way to write it.

I was trying to give Jochs a chance to correct it...it's still sad though. :(

I see what you mean, but wouldn't "pedestrian killed before being hit by train" imply some kind of foul play? :twisted:

How about, "Pedestrian dead AFTER being hit by train." Immediatly after as the case may be...

"dies after" would work ... or "killed by". Oddly enough my non-railfan wife thought my problem with the headline was the assumption that the train went out of its way, swerving to strike the pedestrian. I just thought it sounded like NS Police were stepping up their anti-trespassing campaign and killing trespassers instead of ticketing them.

BTW: That paper also had a headline about a "fake scam" that smoked my logic circuit. If the scam is a fake then is it a scam?
