A illegaly parked rail car is one parked within 250 feet of the crossing. A well versed railtoader like you should know that Unihead ED. Now if there was a statute where two trains couldn't occupy the same crossing within say 1/4 of each other this girl killed today would be alive or if the missing 2nd track occupied circuitry had been installed. Railroads and the FRA who are tucked in their pockets need locked up and the key thrown away. Young woman on bike struck dead by train The Associated Press 5/25/03 8:17 PM MCKEESPORT, Pa. (AP) -- A young woman riding her bike was struck and killed by a train Sunday afternoon just blocks away from emergency officials marching in a Memorial Day parade. The unidentified woman, believed to be in her teens, waited for an eastbound train to pass before crossing the tracks but apparently didn't hear another train coming from the opposite direction, Versailles Volunteer Fire Chief Dave Obley said. "The trains were going across at the same time. She didn't hear the westbound train," Obley said. Obley and fellow firefighters marching in a Memorial Day parade four blocks away responded to the scene within a minute at about 3:20 p.m. The firefighters hopped onto a firetruck and drove off the parade route. "We scared a lot of parade people. They had no idea what was going on," Obley said. The victim was declared dead at the Juniper Street crossing in Versailles. The Allegheny County Coroner's Office said an autopsy will likely be done Monday.
