SOUTHWEST PHILADELPHIA - September 24, 2008 (WPVI) -- The conductor of a freight train was struck and killed by another train in Southwest Philadelphia.

The Action Cam was at a train trestle over 70th Street and the Cobbs Creek Parkway early this morning.

Police say a CSX conductor was locking down his train for the night. Another train came by, and knocked the conductor beneath his own train.

Medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
May he RIP..
