A man hit and killed by an Amtrak train Monday morning in Moorpark had been placing flowers on the tracks for another man fatally struck on Saturday by an Amtrak train, authorities said.

Monday's fatality occurred around 11:33 a.m., when a northbound passenger train from Los Angeles was traveling through the city at about 70 mph, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, which provides police services in the city.

The man, described as a 47-year-old Moorpark resident, was hit near Avenida Colonia and Nogales Avenue and was pronounced dead at the scene. Tracks in the area pass underneath Highway 23 east of the station on High Street.

Witnesses told police the man had been on the tracks placing flowers for 38-year-old Robert Melgoza, who was killed in the same area around 4:40 p.m. Saturday by a northbound Pacific Surfliner passenger train. Witnesses on Monday reportedly advised the man to get off the tracks before the train came through, but he failed to do so in time, sheriff's officials said.

Some 226 passengers and three crew members aboard the train, which was headed to Seattle, were not injured. The tracks were closed in both directions for about two hours and 15 minutes as Moorpark police investigated.

How do you not hear these trains? There is a track about a mile or so from where I live and you can hear the trains coming well before they even get there.

Just...how. Did he WANT to die or something?

With all those people warning him as well, and the fact that it takes 2 seconds to move out of the way of an oncoming train

Additionally, did the fool not think to look both ways beforehand?

What happens to a body that gets hit by a train going 70 mph? Does it explode? Cause that is a ton of force.

Have you even been less than 20 feet from a moving train? You don't have to hear to know it's coming. You can feel it.

Maybe he was overcome with emotion at the time and blocked everything out. Maybe he had mobility issues. Who knows? There's not enough info in the story. For all we know they could have skewed it to make it sound dumber than it really was.

witnesses told him a train was coming and he didn't move. If he had mobility issues he could have asked for help. This is a darwin award.

More than likely was suicide or even unrelated to first case but first responders saw somebodys flowers and assumed they were his.
