Did he do this on purpose?
Even if one is wearing ear phones while cycling, you still hear a train coming and feel all those vibrations.
Prayers for Eric’s family and those who must now work to recover that body.

On DU they’re claiming he was murdered by a MAGA driver. Those people are truly insane.

Um, no.

Writing “hit by train” is like writing “hit by ground” in a fall.

He rode onto train tracks as an entitled leftist, expecting it to yield.

He lost. Good ridden. Darwinism.

Yeah you never know what those unionized NJ State transit employees might be up to, LOL.

He might not have heard the bell, but it's difficult to miss the flashing red lights and the white and red striped crossing gates, even wearing ear buds.

Maybe liberal blinders?

Too bad the train didn’t get him sooner, as in decades ago.

Well he knows what that light is now. I wonder if they’ll find the sign that says. I’m stupid, I know he’d hate to lose it.

I really don’t understand how you “accidentally get hit with a train.”

You did something wrong that was preventable. Trains don’t have the ability to chase you down or veer off.

“He dead.”
