So I'm sitting at a railroad crossing watching a train go by, and after it goes by the lights continue to stay on, and the gates remain down. The man in front of me gets angry after waiting for two minutes with no sign of another passing train and decides to just cross the train tracks anyway. People behind me went around as well, and then 30 seconds later, another train zooms by. I really need your honest answers on this one, because I want to know if it's just me, but would you cross a train track just because you see someone else do it? I sat there and just asked myself a simple question. "Marcus you've survived the impossible in your lifetime by God's grace. Would it be wise to cross this train track?" 😂

A photographer was hit and killed by a train on Thursday as he was taking pictures of a model on the tracks.

Christopher O ‘Guinn, 25, a budding artist just starting to make a name for himself in Fresno, didn't hear a train speeding towards him below the Stanislaus overpass until it was too late.

ABC reports that O ‘Guinn was killed instantly after being hit by a northbound train despite the train being warned by the southbound train conductor that there were people in his way.

His broken camera lens still lay scattered on the tracks as of Friday.

Lieutenant Joe Gomez said the southbound 'engineer told the one going northbound, "hey, there are people on the tracks," he started throttling down, actually.'

Gomez said the northbound train honked its horn but O ‘Guinn didn't hear the train behind him until just before it was going to hit him.

O ‘Guinn tried to jump out of harm's way but he was clipped and killed instantly.

'He was truly an amazing person and photographer,' said O’Quinn’s friend Kayla Aguayo.

'It's definitely a hard time right now,' Aguayo said.

'I think it's a hard time for all of us who knew Chris.'

Aguayo said that O ‘Guinn was artistically drawn to the tracks and that his career was just starting to see some momentum.

'Really, just started putting his name on the map here in the valley,' said Phil Perez, a photographer who also knew O ‘Guinn.

'Chris is a talented individual,' Perez added, 'he created beautiful images for everybody to see.'
