A 21-year-old trainjumping transient from Portland fell out of a Union Pacific train that she and her rottweiler were hitching a ride on. The train was in Benicia and moving at about 50 mph at the time she and the dog fell out -- but she died not from any injury from the fall but rather, from drowning in the shallow puddle in which she landed. The dog was injured too, but they have no word on its condition beyond that. Apparently 2-3 people die each day on Union Pacific property from trying to jump on or off a moving train, or from trespassing on the tracks.
