A statement from the sheriff’s office says that another train conductor saw the two walking on the tracks and warned the oncoming train. The statement says the conductor began slowing down, but didn’t have enough time stop before striking the two.
Their identities were not immediately released.
CSX said in a statement that officials are cooperating with the investigation.
