FULL TITLE: Honor student, 17, is struck by freight train and loses both feet after lying down with legs draped over the tracks

A 17-year-old Georgia high school senior has lost both his feet after being struck by a freight train in suburban Atlanta.

Lilburn Police Captain Thomas Bardugon say the victim, identified as Jacob Ohl, was lying alongside the train tracks near Shelly Lane with his feet draped over the rail when he was struck by a northbound CSX train at 1pm Thursday.

It took the locomotive between half a mile and three quarters of a mile to stop after the accident.

How horrible. Obviously, no one ever had him put a penny on the track.

Wasn't there always a *villain* involved?

No, my point was that he told me that man people died being hit by his train, but he’d conditioned himself that he could never be at fault. It was virtually always the driver or pedestrian at fault.

He's really right.

Not much of an excuse for being on RR tracks when a train is coming.

It's not like they sneak up on you.

Whatever his intention, looks like he came up short.

I’ve heard that quarters crushed that way make good guitar picks.

I believe you.

This disaster is what happens when you combine trainspotting with planking.

Traumatic amputation. With the heat of the train wheels the limbs probably cauterized immediately. Best wishes to family. Hopefully the young man sorts this all out.

The mile long freight heading through Bradner Ohio would crush a nickel out into a paper thin overlay on the rail.
We lost a few of our crush projects to such.
Kinda hard to remove foil from track.

They got killed on a railroad track in Utah a few years ago. The were standing on the track posting selfies while a train went by on the track next to them. They didn’t hear the train coming from behind. The Union Pacific posts the story from time to time to remind people not to be careless around railroad tracks.

Yup! Someone should've given this boy a checkup from the neck up long ago.

On the bright side, it’s the the most unambiguous spotting you’ll ever record.

I think the folks in question used commuter trains. A bit less ummph there.
