AUBURN — A BNSF Railway spokesman says a 29-year-old man who reportedly was lying on railroad tracks was struck and killed Wednesday by a Sounder commuter train in the south Seattle suburb of Auburn.
Spokesman Gus Melonas said the crew blew the train’s emergency whistle and applied the brake but couldn’t avoid hitting the man.
Melonas said no one aboard the train was hurt.
The death is under investigation.
