(Note: I will add on to this when I get more info)
August 26, 1991 a man was filming the last of the Burlington Northern E9 locomotives in the Chicagoland Area, Downers Grove.
The locomotive that hit her (BN 9912 E9A) Is preserved in a museum in Tennessee Central Museum awaiting a full restoration.
She was walking with her lawyer to help sign some divorce papers with her husband.
The train was traveling at 60-70mph at the time of impact.
Tons of people already covered this on YouTube and Reddit so watch that for more info.
There is no aftermath but the full tape is said to show some but the full tape is considered lost media. Im showing you the only part of the known tape to exit.
Edit:
Update I found a photo of her grave
Her
The crossing
And the locomotive before the accident
As well as a good explanation of the locomotives and accident
Edit 2:
I found her obituary
And a low quality clip on YouTube
Edit 3:
Someplace about 1 year later (taken at the next crossing over)
And a compilation of trains around there and in the area
Edit 4:
Her death was also used on “Banned from Television Pt. 1” (at 39:15)

Here’s the crossing on google maps

she was clearly competing against the man. thinking she's better than him, faster than him. She won a different award though.Also, the fact that she's getting a divorce even made it harder for her to lose to any man even if its her lawyer.

Honestly, anyone that was watching gore in the nineties, at least when I first came across this video, thought it was old timey gore. The whole video wasn’t there, just the run across the train tracks, and her being hit and flying. This was the front cover of any vhs or early run dvd gore video trailer. Until today, if I was shown this video, I would assume it’s one of the earliest gore videos ever recorded. I’d never seen this cut.
I legitimately thought this was recorded a hundred years ago, and the potato footage that floated around those times all but confirmed it.
This is some high quality gore, and it gives me hope, that some of the clips I’ve seen will one day have a higher quality version released by a purist, who maybe saved the initial video or feed

Thank you. BTW I got the footage from doing a FOIA request at the local PD and they emailed me this back after 4 days

I always assumed this was a father and daughter situation. Honestly I'm glad it wasn't that. They must have thought the stopped train was the one honking instead of an express train on the middle track. Her fault to be honest. Being one minute or two earlier to your destination, wherever it is, it's not worth your life. Feel bad for the train driver and the person recording. The body came towards him so fast.

I feel like she died when she hit the fucking ground not when she was fucking hit by the fucking train. I guess they didn’t have those barriers back then, bitch? When I hear that sound I’m on high alert. By the fucking time she saw it, it was fucking on top of her.

My first online death gore video. Budd Dwyer was my first first, but that was on regular TV
My understanding was they were filming file footage for news stories on just how dangerous the crossing was at the time, with multiple lines that were blind due to other stopped trains.
