At 6 AM this morning, a man was killed by an Orange Line train while walking along the tracks.

The man had travelled about 200 feet from the station when the impact took place, Pesaturo said. It was not immediately known why the man was walking along the tracks, which are powered by a third rail, he said.

For one, ouch. Now I know to believe “Danger Third Rail” in MBTA stations. This is more a weird story than anything else. I doubt the train operators would’ve seen the man before the train ran him over, so what do you do in a situation like this?
