Insp. Ken Thrower says the 60-year-old woman was seen on CCTV footage walking south along the platform toward the level crossing.

A southbound train went by and the woman walked east across the northbound tracks.

"She appeared to be distracted or preoccupied, not too sure," said Thrower. "She glances down at her cellphone, she almost walked out in front of the traffic on 36th Street, going northbound."

Thrower said the woman then turned around and went back across the northbound track as a train approached.

The lights were flashing warning of the approaching train, but the woman, who Thrower said appeared to be looking the wrong way, stepped in front of it and was hit.
