“A Buena Park man who was sitting on railroad tracks with a friend was killed after he refused to heed a train conductor’s warning to get off the tracks, Fullerton police said Friday.”

True story from the archives of the L.A. Times. In April 1990, two guys were sitting on the tracks, the engineer of a Santa Fe Railroad freight train sounded the horn and tried to brake, one guy moved and survived, and the other didn’t and died.
