Its not smart to walk on the train tracks

A man walking on MARTA rail tracks was struck and killed by a rush-hour commuter train on a bridge that runs over Interstate 85 northeast of downtown Wednesday, authorities said.

The unidentified man, about 20, was between the Arts Center and Lindbergh stations shortly before 5:30 p.m., said Jocelyn Baker, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority. The train was carrying 300 passengers. No one else was injured.

As authorities investigated, train service was halted between two stations, and commuters were shuttled on buses. Train service resumed about 9:30 p.m.
