I always have my headphones in, sometimes cranked pretty loud, and I can usually hear the train horn as it passes through downtown.
It happens though. I knew someone in highschool who was walking along the tracks and was struck and killed by a train. She was listening to music.

I wouldn't even put it past someone to do something like this if they were texting and walking at the same time. People just become so oblivious. The other day, I almost saw someone get hit by a car because he almost walked out into busy traffic while he was texting. Someone actually had to grab the guys hoody and yank him back.
