I wondered if this was going to make the news. This is why 20(15) was delayed for several hours. He allegedly pushed her in front of a NS freight train. The police closed the tracks and held the scene for hours, which led to additional delays and congestion.

Anniston man charged with murder after reportedly pushing wife in front of train

Anniston police Sgt. Kyle Price police responded to the track near Cooper Circle about 4:15 p.m. Thursday on a report of a person struck by a train. Benny Burgess, he said, was still on the scene.

Price said crew members from the train had seen the couple on the tracks and had sounded their horn to let them know the train was moving in their direction. "There is no reason they would not have heard it,'' Price said.

Investigators at the scene spoke with the train's crew, as well as Burgess, and determined "there may be something more to it,'' Price said.
Further investigation, combined with the crew's "observation," showed Burgess caused his wife to be intentionally struck, he said.
