As to the cause, anything is possible including murder and suicide, but it has been reported that a plank was missing on the walkway.  With a black, creosoted walkway in the middle of the night, I can see how someone could just step into the hole and be gone.  I suspect we will learn more about the missing plank.  I doubt that just one out of hundreds of planks suddenly goes missing because of aging or deterioration.  This is heavy planking bolted to steel framing.  And I cannot see the railroad company allowing a plank to be missing much beyond the moment they discover the defect.  It would be a death trap for their emplyees as well as for trespassers.  <a href="http://www.twincities.com/life/ci_10170099"></a>
