Two Padestrians killed by freight trains in three days is something fishy either the victims have bad awareness on upcoming trains or sometimes these victims try to hitch a ride to the freight train but they got into trouble jumping into the train and they died accidently or sadly it’s just suicidal.Prayers goes out to the victims
