A man is dead after being struck by a train in Edmonds near the ferry terminal.

The incident occurred at 7:25 a.m. about a quarter-mile north of the Edmonds dock.

As a result, the Edmonds-Kingston ferry route is out of service until further notice.

Sounder Train #1707 is also delayed. The train is returning to Everett for passengers to take buses to Seattle.  Mukilteo and Edmonds passengers are advised to take local buses. 

 Amtrak Cascades train 510 is also delayed departing Seattle due to the police investigation on the tracks ahead.

According to Edmonds police, the train operator said a man was standing on the tracks.  The train operator hit the horn repeatedly, but the man did not move, and was hit.

EDMONDS, Wash. - A northbound freight train struck and killed a man on the railroad tracks at Edmonds, bringing ferry and train service to an abrupt halt in the area.

The victim was struck on the railroad tracks at about 7:25 a.m. near the intersection of Sunset Avenue and Caspers Street, a few blocks north of the Edmonds ferry terminal.

Sgt. Mark Marsh of the Edmonds police said the train's crew saw the man on the tracks and repeatedly blew their horns to warn him, but he did not get out of the way.

The freight train came to a stop after the accident, blocking access to and from the busy Edmonds ferry terminal just as it was about to unload cars and passengers who had boarded at Kingston. Ferry service is halted indefinitely on the Kingston-Edmonds route.

The accident also has delayed the 7:15 a.m. Sounder train from Everett and Amtrak service. Further delays are possible.

Marsh said it could take two hours or more to complete the investigation and move the train away from the site.

She often spoke to Bob Pines. Splatty thought Mrs. Pines was trying to get away from Bob when she was struck by the train on the dirt crossing leaving their trailer....mobile home village.
