A 22-year-old Palo Alto man was struck and killed by a Union Pacific Railroad Co. freight train Monday night north of Churchill Avenue, a Caltrain spokeswoman has said.
According to Caltrain, he was hit at about 9:30 p.m. on the Caltrain track by Homer Avenue, north of Churchill.
The southbound train remained stopped at about 10:20 p.m. while the coroner was en route, Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme Ackemann said.
Caltrain was operating on a holiday schedule Monday due to Presidents Day, with fewer trains running.

The man was not struck by a train. The man committed suicide by stepping in front of a train.
Let's get it right someday.
Trains do not jump off the tracks and pursue people with the intent to kill them. People step in front of trains to commit suicide....

Posted by Anonymous, a resident of another community, on Feb 19, 2013 at 10:52 pm The incident the idiot above me is talking about and this one is different. The one he is talking about was tuesday morning, while this was monday night. I know the kid, and believe me it was not suicide.
so Greg David, you get it right.
