Thanks. I doubted the explanation because I can't imagine a train going fast enough to do that in that particular location.

I'm not saying that the train operators are using this as an excuse to cover up something else, but I do wonder how fast a train has to be going in order to create such a wave, and whether a train could have been going that fast on that part of the track.

Didn’t know squat about the terrain. Based on what you said, the low pressure may not have been near enough to suck her in.

What would the train operators have to “cover up”??? If you’re on the freakin’ tracks, you’re trespassing in the first place.

I was talking to an engineer down at the Redondo facility back a few years while I was marveling at the fact that a pressure washer didn’t get all of a guys skull contents off a train after he’d been struck by the Coast Starlighter at ~90 mph. He said he feels sorry for the cows and coyotes ‘cause they just don’t know, but the people he gave up on long before... They’re “just stupid”...
