There has got to be a video or something. You'd think that Amtrack would have dash cams installed for liability if nothing else....

Also, "inside the two rails" could easily mean that he was walking in between two tracks that run parallel to each other. Laymen refer to taking the train as riding the rail, not rails. So they could be referring to the rails as track 9 and track 11, etc... There is typically little room between the two tracks. I think it's this more so than a direct hit because he was only thrown 50 feet from impact. (if that's accurate as well) People have been go further than than when struck by a car at 40 mph.
