What a sad day for the family of a nine year old boy in Russell, Kansas today. While playing too close to the train tracks, he was killed by a freight train going from Denver, Colorado to Salina, Kansas. He was pronouced dead at the scene.
Perhaps, in addition to using extra caution in the future and realizing how dangerous being too close to railroad tracks can be, and in addition to making sure all children from now on are never allowed to play too close to train tracks, anyone who reads about this on the internet can be gentle when posting comments about this. This incident is not even a day old, and I have already seen some comments posted under stories about it by people who do not realize that this little boy's parents woke up this morning with a son, and will go to bed without one tonight.
