From Friday's Detroit News:
• Man talking on cell phone hit by train, killed: A man apparently absorbed in a cell phone call was struck and killed by an Amtrak train on Wednesday after he walked around a lowered crossing gate and onto the tracks in San Leandro, Calif., authorities said.
UPDATE:
Witnesses reporting they heard the engine's whistle blowing frantically for 30 seconds before the fatal collision also thought they heard, as the engine went past, an Amtrak employee screaming: “Can you hear me now?”
