Hometown News: Two Killed by Train in Hamburg

Police in Hamburg are trying to figure out why a couple walking on the train tracks did not get out of the train's way. Investigators say the man and woman, both in their 40s, were walking back to a nearby mobile home park after going to a convenience store on Saint Francis Drive yesterday. A spokesman for Norfolk Southern Railway says the train blew its whistle several times, but the couple did not move and the train could not stop in time. Police say the victims had come from Florida and were staying with a relative in the mobile home park.
