Terry Davis didn't see the train coming. Or hear it. Literally.
The Dalles is a train "quiet zone". There are no train horns blown at the crossing. The residents didn't like the sound of the train horn disturbing them, so they applied to become a "quiet zone" and got it.
Terry was walking along lost in his own thoughts, maybe ranting out loud, when suddenly he felt the rumble, or saw his shadow in front of him in the light of the approaching train behind him. He turned. It was too late.
And THAT'S why the cold, dispassionate response from the police of "we investigated the incident in accordance with state law" was their main response. Terry makes the 4th death in 2 years on the tracks, right? They don't want to have the "quiet zone" taken away. The city will close up ranks and push the story of crazy insane guy commits suicide rather than have their safety crossings and safety record be investigated lest their "quiet zone" be taken away.
Yes because trains on rails are so quiet....... Fucking tard

If you're lost in thought, and a schizo to boot, it's entirely possible not to realise until it's too late. It's only deafening when it's passing right by you, it's not nearly that ear-splitting when it's coming towards you and is still some distance away.
Now the question is why would you ever walk on tracks without being constantly alert for trains. Not that implausible though, especially for someone mentally unstable.

the only way you're not going to notice a train coming is if you're intoxicated or asleep
