[Sister Havana]

There have been a lot of stories about people being hit by trains in this area of late. Today's story about someone being hit by a Metra train is one. The other day someone was hit by a freight train (he survived) in the north suburbs and last week a woman was hit by a freight train in the west suburbs. The week before that someone was struck and killed by a Metra train. Earlier this month another guy was killed after driving around lowered crossing gates (dumb). A guy committed suicide by jumping in front of an El train this week too. That's just this month!
