Teen hit by train north of DC was taking photos on tracks

Sixteen-year-old John Martin DeReggi Jr. and his girlfriend were being photographed by her twin sister at a picturesque spot in Boyds, a town about 20 miles north of the nation's capital, on Monday afternoon. But they say when the train came through, the girls went in one direction and DeReggi tried to go in the other, but he didn't get out of the way in time.

An adventurous life cut short on the railroad tracks
