I'm not being rude or insensitive but I really can't understand how someone walking near/along railroad tracks could get hit by a train. Did she not hear tons of metal creaking & the engine roaring as it approached? Like seriously....I am NOT being offensive so don't read a tone into this...I'm curious. I'm glad the dog was uninjured & hope she makes a full recovery.

I'm also not trying to be rude, but what I can't understand is how do you get hit by a train? There are tracks that tell you where the trains going to go... it's not like its going to swerve and hit you...

It is not being rude when you state the facts. It needs to be stated she was trespassing on railroad property and I think she needs to be charged with that. I sincerely hope she has a speedy and complete recovery.
