This now dead non-genius threw a roped bottle attached to a shopping cart in front of a UP train, probably hoping to see the cart get dragged along and smashed. Evidently he got caught up in the rope and was killed.

The deceased should be nominated for a "Darwin Award" for his stupidity (I don't care if he was sober, drunk, stoned, doing this on a dare, etc.).

This type of thing can be distressing to the engine crew, even if it was the victim's fault).

One less idiot in the world, but there'll be at least one more to replace him unfortunately.
