Death on MBTA (Boston) tracks at Brockton Station
Author: Frank30

At 10 am this morning, Channel 7 News reported that a 75 year old man was stuck and killed
by  an outbound commuter rail train at Brockton.  He was crossing the ground level tracks at the southern end
of the station at 7:15 when he was hit by the train being pulled by an HSP-46 engine. Passengers
were bussed to their  destination while the investigation proceeded. The TV reporter mentioned
that  after 2+ hours, the train was allowed to proceed southbound. RIP

One tv station reported that the crossing signals were working so I assume the red lights were flashing and the clangers
making their usual noise.
