The Los Angeles Times reports today that a man died Tuesday night after being struck by a train in the 1600 block of Coast Boulevard in Del Mar.  The victim, whose name was not disclosed, was from the state of Washington and had been dog sitting in Del Mar.

According to the train’s engineer, the man continued to walk slowly across the train tracks even after he had sounded the horn.  Although the engineer applied the brakes, the train, which extended four feet beyond the tracks on either side, clipped the man after he made it across the tracks.
