Train kills man on BNSF tracks at Centralia

CENTRALIA, Wash. —A freight train struck and killed a Chehalis man at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday on Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks at Centralia.

Spokesman Gus Melonas (mel-OWN'-us) says there is no crossing at the location, but a road ends at the tracks.

Eight trains were delayed until the tracks reopened at 2:30.

"A freight train struck and killed a Chehalis man at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday": so the train hunted down the poor sap and whacked him?

To be fair, the "Train vs. trespasser fatality in Centralia, WA" headline on this thread is more accurate.
