Teen hit by train in Wyandotte?
I heard a southbound CN train by my house a few hours ago, looks to be the same train that struck a teenager on oak street in Wyandotte. I have no other info about this accident and no word on his/hers condition
If anyone can find a link to any news about this, will be very appreciated.

I am glad didn't go to Oak today like planned. I would have been standing by Charlie and seeing what he did.

Re: Teen hit by train in Wyandotte?
Yeah, he had posted on facebook about it. He said that him and the crew were the first to get to him. Apparently the kid was wearing headphones and never looked to see what was going on.

Re: Teen hit by train in Wyandotte?
According to Fox2 he was wearing headphones and didn't hear it coming. The kid was flown to Henry Ford Detroit, had surgery then was transferred to Childrens Hospital. Hopefully some rapid debriefing and intervention for the crews will or already has taken place.

Re: Teen hit by train in Wyandotte?
Still blows my mind how you can't hear a train blowing MUCH louder than the music in your headphones.

He was probably tuning everything out other than the music.J T wrote:Still blows my mind how you can't hear a train blowing MUCH louder than the music in your headphones.

Re: Teen hit by train in Wyandotte?
Just bizarre. You're walking on tracks and you tune out the sound of a train horn? Did he think it was in the song he was listening to? I play my ipod pretty loud when I'm on the treadmill at the gym, but that doesn't keep me from hearing someone plodding along on another treadmill ten feet away from me.AARR wrote:He was probably tuning everything out other than the music.J T wrote:Still blows my mind how you can't hear a train blowing MUCH louder than the music in your headphones.
I don't know, maybe I need to go stand next to a crossing with my music cranked in the headphones to see how easily a train horn blends in. In the meantime, it still baffles me.

Maybe for some reason he thought the train was on one of the other lines.

Probably would have been wise to verify an assumption like that. Pretty high stakes.atrainguy60 wrote:Maybe for some reason he thought the train was on one of the other lines.

At Oak street, you can see the headlight of a northbound train all the way to Pennsylvania Road, which is three or four minutes away. Headphones or not, a simple look back now and then is in order! Being a frequent trainwatcher at Oak street, I can't believe the stupid kids in that area. I have seen kids playing chicken with oncoming trains, standing on the tracks until the last second. My sympathies are with the train crews who have to contend with this every day. Look for increased railroad police presence in the area now.

Re: Teen hit by train in Wyandotte?
Hopefully this kid talks and tells the world HOW he didn't hear the train's horn. I want to know what specific music can mask the incredibly loud level of a train horn so well that you can't hear it.

Re: Teen hit by train in Wyandotte?
He's a teen...doesn't matter what music he's listening to, he had it cranked up and in his own world. I have 2 teens myself. They blast all kinds of music. And we used to live near tracks and a crossing (Holly Sub) so we're very familiar with a trains' horn and how loud it can be. Should've never been on the tracks in the first place.J T wrote:Hopefully this kid talks and tells the world HOW he didn't hear the train's horn.

It'll be interesting to see what he says if he isn't brain dead.J T wrote:Hopefully this kid talks and tells the world HOW he didn't hear the train's horn. I want to know what specific music can mask the incredibly loud level of a train horn so well that you can't hear it.
