At 7:35 am Friday, a man was struck by a train while walking the tracks across the bridge at Sixth Street and Fulton Shipyard.
According to authorities on scene, the man was in critical condition and suffered a major head trauma. He was alive and breathing as crews loaded him into a medical helicopter for transport.
The victim was an adult male, possibly homeless, where he was moving his belongings near the tracks when he was struck. It was reported the man thought he was clear of the train. The man was struck near 2nd Street and the train ended up stopping near Fulton Shipyard which closed the road due to the length of the train.
No further information was made available.

Walking on the tracks and couldn’t hear or see the train coming?
You don’t know what happened. He could’ve gotten stuck or anything. They don’t even know. No one was there. They are guessing n so are you!!
Neither do you Rachay. So my question is valid. You dumbshjt.
Reginald, don’t play with me. Not the one.
@Rachay,
Perhaps you should take your own advice…
“Rachay, don’t play with me. ‘I’M’ not the one.”
Lots of dopers and skumbags by the Fulton Shipyard. I still can’t understand a person not hearing a train unless they are deaf and dumb. The only other answer is stoned out of your mind or attempting suicide.
If you are without any fault cast the first stone,if not please be respectful,this was a Husband and father brother,son friend He may not have had a perfect life but didnt deserve to die like this,and you are not the one to judge him, sounds like you didnt even know him,and fyi to all he was not homeless so the authorities are wrongfully judging as well.,
Yes, Georgina. Everyone is wrong except the ones YOU deem are right.
He was a kind and caring person who had children and a family who adored him. Reginald, you need either need to figure out how to develop empathy or somehow learn to affect it through obvious cues. Showing respect when someone loses their life tragically is the bare minimum requirement for decency, and if you can’t meet that you are officially a piece of sh*t.
When you come on the internet to disrespect someone who just died, you obviously go on and think nothing of it, or feel amused by your own antisocial behavior, but you are hurting every person who cared about that person and reads your disgusting insensitive garbage at a time when they are in the most pain. Grow up. Go to therapy. Fix it.
Sound logic. I wish there were more humans like you who post on this site. The amount of knuckle dragging Reggie’s is astounding.
