MELBOURNE, Fla. A "no trespassing" sign warned four teenagers in Florida not to walk onto the railroad trestle where they were joking around and taking pictures. A fisherman along the banks of the creek below also told them to be careful.
The final warning was the howling whistle of an oncoming train. They tried to heed the piercing alarm, but only one was able to sprint to safety.
The other three, all girls, were struck and killed by the train Saturday, police and witnesses said. Onlookers yelled for the teens to run or jump into the slow-moving water of Cane Creek 20 feet below, but only a young boy made it off the 60-metre span.
Dear Readers.
Tell your neighbours.
Tell your kids.
Tell your kids’ kids.
Tell your friends.
A railway is not a playground.
A railway bridge is not a shortcut.
Railway property is dangerous ground!
Stay away!
Any time is train time!
