How do you not see that coming? Right off the bat there's train tracks and you're on them. Trains are like as big as buildings and a mile long. The ground shakes, they have a horn. There's like a rush of wind generated by them. In short, they are one of the most noticeable moving man-made object you will ever encounter during a normal lifetime.
Probably a lot of these train and car fatalities are caused by people just wanting to commit suicide.
