An old woman got hit by a train just down the street from me the other year. I didn't see it or the aftermath but two passersby who did see it were in tears and said it was the worst thing they'd ever seen. I suspect she had stopped to let a train pass that was departing the station about 200m down from the pedestrian crossing and then started walking as soon as it had gone past, not being able to see or hear a second train coming from the opposite direction.
Pic rel, photo I took that day.
