[quote user="Falcon48"] If this is the incident I think it is, I'm pretty familiar with it.  Ironically, it happened in Illinois, at the BN/METRA Fairview Avenue station in Downers Grove.  It was photographed by a railfan taking movies of the last days of the old BN "E" units in commuter service.  I saw the enitre sequence shortly after the accident occurred.  None of the versions I've subsequently seen go all the way to the end of the footage (fortunately).[/quote] Even after making the video acceptable for Youtube, it is still an incredibly chilling thing to see, particularly how it unfolded.  I wonder if the woman who was killed was with that guy alongside of her, or if they were strangers and just happened to be in the same place at the same time.  It appears as though they made a mutual decision to make a dash to get across without even seeing the train and how fast it was coming.  I have a feeling that she would not have gotten hit if she was alone.
