I just don't understand how stupid one can be to get hit by a train. Whenever I'm around/near railroad crossings, I'm extremely cautious and aware of my surroundings.

Minor point, but a cyclist is NOT a pedestrian.

I was reading through the comments on one news article and according to someone who knows and spoke to the family the guy had headphones on and didn't hear or see the train until the last minute.
