MILWAUKEE - Two people walking along railroad tracks just south of Milwaukee were struck and killed by an Amtrak train bound for Chicago on Saturday, authorities said.
Amtrak spokeswoman Marcie Golgoski said the two were trespassing on rail property when they were hit about 11:15 a.m.
"It's an area that's not a pedestrian crossing," she said.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office and the Oak Creek Police Department declined to release further details.
Golgoski said the none of the train passengers was hurt. They were put on another train while the one involved remained at the scene during the investigation

Wow... they were only 14 and 17.
This is crazy. Those train tracks are by my house, too.

hmm...that seems quite odd then. im sure the train operator felt bad since there was virtually nothing they could do.

So if the train blew the whistle... and I know they saw the train coming... was it possibly a suicide?

what the hell.. even if the train was going 100mph (which it sure wasnt..) you'd have enough time to see and react i.e. get out of the way -_-

Well, yeah...
And for ^that reason, people are thinking that either drugs were involved or it was a suicide...

it does seem like suicide, but aren't train tracks fenced? i know they could have climbed over it.... if i were to commit suicide, i wouldnt want to get run over by a train. imagine the guilt the conducter must be feeling... and it must be painful if you don't die. R.I.P.
