How did she not hear the Training coming? I don’t understand this. So senseless
My thought exactly! How do you not hear the train and how do you not see the arms that go down when a train is coming thru!
So sad

Headphones maybe and lookin down (maybe cell/ipod) ? Maybe…?
Teenagers as we all know can be mindless and not think to pay attention to something as obvious as it is for us adults. She may have been listening to music, etc. Poor girl and those who witnessed it. I drove up on it at 10:30 just when they were covering her up, it makes you sick to see something like that….
it does not matter anymore. show some respect.
Excuse us Aja we are not being disrespectful. You need to show some respect.
Suicide obviously.. And confirmed
I would guess, her being a teen, that she had headphones on. There is no other way to not hear a train. RIP.

Sad my heart goes out to the family condolences
Why is she not in school ?
Homeschooling maybe Bowman afternoon student
There is no school for several schools today in this area
And Golden valley has late start today
Does it matter?
She went to GV, late start day.
Thank you April Vance I was just turning the corner to come home and the police had just gotten there and started taping it off. Very sad
:(
It’s on Rainbow ln and Soledad Cyn .Not Ruether
Just gose to show everybody humans are no match for trains to everyone who lives near trains look both ways pay attention for these trains
I live right behind rainbow market and if I even think the train is coming, I stop at the light. I take NO chances, but kids are different. Their brains don’t fully develop until they are 25yrs old.

Why wasn’t she in school? Praying for her family
GV high school had a late start
I know I work there. but school started at 10:05.
Not if she didn’t have 1st period it didn’t. Starts at 10:40
True. we had meetings and assembly for every 15mn. No one said anything in school today. we probably will hear about it on Monday. We have so many kids taking the bus. I can’t imagine what the family is going through. I am afraid to find out who it is.
i know who it is..
Danielle here’s the train article
Prayers to both her and family
Witnesses said she was texting and had ear phones on :-(

Another person dying. Gruesome what a world we live in. Having friends and neighbors dying left and right!
How sad today this girl and yesterday the boy. Both in canyon country.
Just passed the area and saw the train sitting on the tracks. Very sad. Condolences to the family. May she RIP. And to the boy yesterday too.
Joshua Sanders
That’s very sad. It’s hard to tell what happened so soon, but it looks similar to a few cases I have. Any incident involving a train is usually very bad.
It really doesn’t matter why or how. It’s just so sad. God Bless her family & friends. May she R.I.P.
This is so sad- I live nearby (Isabella) and heard the noise. My daughter crossed that part of the track getting off the bus- insanely scary. condolences to the family, friends and our neighborhood.
I know someone who witnessed the whole thing nd he said she intentionally walked on the tracks nd closed her eyes. Suicide!
So sad, her decision is something many will have to live with. Not surprised though.
have they identified her?
Heart Breaking
As he cousin how about you keep your mouth shut if you know nothing
Not that I know of @Aja
I don’t understand how people don’t look both ways if it was an accident like they keep saying. I look both ways just to get my mail. Thoughts are with her family as they try to find the truth.
Oh man, Brian.

Devastating! :”(((
I live right infront of rainbow glen and many who witnessed it said she was at the bus stop, but went to the liquor to get something. When she came out she saw the bus getting to the bus stop so she ran. She saw the train, but did not want to miss the bus. If she was a was teen then she was most likely going to Golden Valley HS since they enter later on Fridays. Santa Clarita isn’t the same anymore. Its not as safe is it used to claim. Very sad, but accidents happens. Its a cruel part of life.
Being Safe has nothing to do with this accident.
She did go to GV, I heard from a teacher there.
It still isn’t the same or safe.
Being safe has nothing 2 do with this. Safer then most places! Believe me I know (born nd raised n los Angeles)
It didnt say it wasn’t safe. I said it is not AS safe as it used to claim. Believe me i know as well. L.A is nothing compared to Mexico or other places in the world.
And i do believe i said “accidents happen”.
sad!!
Larry, this is down the street from my housing community.
People need to stay off the tracks that’s what happens
That’s metro links track some times we use it
Has her name been released
that spot looks like a big time danger zone the tracks are fully exposed god forbidden a little grl runs and she get run over by a train scv should do something about this I SAY A CITY PITITION so they can make all train tracks more secure 2 school near that area mission view bowman there should be some law I mean they got a decrease speed sign in every school make scv safe agin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So tragic
Very sad Im sorry about her family
I drove by and saw the train was stopped..police cars, ambulance and firetrucks were surrounding the scene….had no idea what happened…how sad :(
Horrible… So sad for the family
Roxana Heredia this is what i saw when i was on lunch
I was coming back from Walmart last week and was horrified when I saw three teens running across the tracks just as a train was approaching with just seconds to spare. Deeply saddened by what’s happened.
Came home sick and this happened right in front of where I live. So very sad
Melvin-Daisy Ramírez Ramirez. Acá miralo
So sad
She went to Golden Valley..today was a late start at 10:05. I know her name but wont say on here for respect. I talked to a couuuple of her teachers today and they were very upset. Ive heard a few different stories…but i guess we will have to wait to see the trains Camera Footage. I give my Condolences..so Sad. she was 16.
