I used to commute on this line.

I remember this. Very chilling.

"rellroad"

as someone who has watched somebody slowly waste away from cancer i gotta say as awful as this mite look to us viewers this really isn't a bad way to go at all. quick, painless, and you never knew it was comin'.....the 3 thangs we all hope for when our time has come.

What is the name of the song at the very beginning of this video?

Makes no sense to sue the train for what she did.

Why on earth would they have just walked in front of the train?

Suicide?

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️👸❤️

She from Poland ?

I've seen the uncensored video. She was flung across the tracks. As someone described what she looked like, i can understand. Her body was smashed by the train and it would naturally twist as she rolled. You must always be cautious around trains.

Noone mentions how the lawyer came within a whisker himself of getting hit. That alone would make for a harrowing video.

My son’s friend (17 yrs old) was walking home from school. There are train tracks along the route. He had ear buds in and was listening to whatever he was watching on his phone as he walked. He wasn’t paying attention and walked into the side of a train passing by. There were multiple broken bones and head trauma. He died three days later…..3 months before he would graduate from high school. I tell people about him in the hopes that they might pay more attention when they walk.

On a brighter note, the Loco was completely unharmed by the accident.

I've seen the uncensored version. Trust me and the Train Guru, you DO NOT want to see it.

Re-enact the incident? What did they do, have him come blaring by at 60 mph and throw her body in front of the train again?? I feel like it's a pretty self explanatory situation, especially with video evidence on hand.

It was just a horrible accident and nobody's fault but hers alone.

Feel bad for the engineer.

Her lawyer was like "Mthr'Fker... Now I'll never get paid for the divorce"

People in Chicago are nuts. If you are in downtown Chicago, don’t ever try to go through an intersection at a yellow light. People jump out in front of you before the crosswalk even activates.

People need to understand that trains cant stop, turn, evade or avoid a collision. Stay off the tracks as pedestrian and obey all crossing signals. Remember, ANY TIME IS TRAIN TIME!

Don't cross the tracks when the gates are down.

I've seen the uncensored version. I'll just say that I saw far worse happen to people in Iraq during tours there. It has desensitized me to things such as this to the very point of me viewing it no differently than an animal running out in front of a car at the worst time. I do get help for ptsd. It's a bitch to deal with.

Happened a few minutes from my house when I was a little boy - sad. RIP

My wife and I lived in an apartment about a half a block from the scene of this accident. I remember this well, as my brother died 11 days earlier.

I watched a drunk woman get killed by a train when I was 5 or 6 years old. It was horribly traumatic. I cannot imagine how traumatized the engineers must feel when this happens to them. B

Gotta make one with just the crash noises next.

As a train operator this is my worst fear when passing workers on the tracks performing maintenance in this one area where 4 trains run parallel along each other. Sometimes when I pass a train on the inside track making a station stop I imagine workers getting off that train and stepping out not knowing my train is rapidly approaching

Obviously her family couldn't win the lawsuit, but how is the railroad able to use her tragic ending for their benefit ?

I can’t believe it’s been 30 years dang I wonder if the husband or soon to be ex husband

I remember that, so sad. Just shows that you have to pay attention.

That divorce got finalized at record speed.

Folks, she just wasn't paying attention and was following her lawyer.. this world is full of things that can end your life. A lot of people here reading this will no doubt meet some gruesome fate because they made a bad decision or wasnt paying attention also. Could be me too. But i do try and be aware of my surroundings and watch for things. I also have learned that speed kills, and i have slowed way down as i got older. Rushing things usually results in bad outcomes ive noticed .

My Q&A Questions: 1. Have you ever ridden on historic Trolleys? 2. Which is your favorite defunct Heritage Railroad? Mine would be the Lahaina, Kaanapali & Pacific Railroad (A.K.A The Sugar Cane Train). 3. Have you ever watched the three Lots & Lots of Trains films?

Ouch. That ll leave a mark.

I saw this footage on the “Banned from Television” VHS in the late 90’s. It’s gruesome to watch. I never knew who that lady was until this.

Many saw this on the mail order video "Banned From TV" in the 90s

Play stupid games expect stupid outcome it's sad but all her fault still very sad no matter what tho RIP

I remember watching this years ago, been traumatized ever since. RIH Mary😢

And just a month ago, a fire truck (people that should really know better.) tried to zip around the barrier. No one killed, but they didn't make it to their destination, and ended up creating a new scene by themselves. People will always be dumb I guess.

This was on the video "Banned from televison" omg that was scarring......

4:07 the personality of a lawyer in one scene. So crazy you can see how he convinces her to cross. But when he stops he doesn't stop her. Even today you would do that in that case. But at that time women had nothing to say she trusted him. Disgusting human that lawyer

Divorce gets no more final than that

Watched this on faces of death in the 90s

We all seen what happen many times , u should show it

I remember seeing this on a Faces of Death video years ago.

Typical woman, kept yapping without paying attention to her surroundings.

I went to high school in the Chicagoland area in the 90s and for drivers Ed we watched the full unedited video for railroad safety portion of class. Obviously we could choose to not watch it but I believe most all the students did. If I remember right within an instant of her being struck a part of her body knocked the camera down. It was very quick and grainy recording but enough to see the impact, lots of pink and then something fly right into the camera. I've though about the video many times over the past 25 years but tis the first time seeing it since then. So horrible

I remember seeing this on news the day it happened! Smh..it was something..RIP
