Commuters in the western suburbs faced some delays after a freight train derailed on Friday morning. According to officials ...

At first, the two women try to outrun the 14,000-ton freight train but when they realize it is catching up too fast, one woman lies down in the middle of the tracks.

The tracks are also narrower than the trains, making it hard to judge safe clearance. A fully loaded freight train weighs as much as 6,500 tons and can take 18 football fields to stop a train.
