I don't even know if he had headphones on. We have a very dangerous area where they don't have any warning signs. You can cross one set of tracks, and not see the train coming until it's too late. It was too late for him.
Multiple people have died doing the exact same thing in the exact same area. I think they finally put up fences and warning signs and other things to hopefully save the lives of others in the future.
I've lost at least five family members to trains. When you start doing genealogy you start finding out all kinds of strange things about your ancestors.
One tried to beat the train in his car. Train 1, car 0.
Two of them went into town and got drunk. Walked home. Apparently fell asleep on the train tracks.
Train 2, pedestrians 0.
One actually worked on the trains. He was a brakeman.
Lost his footing. Lost his head. Literally. 
Never take your eyes off a train.
Edited to add: the two who were passed out drunk on the tracks, it happened in Pennsylvania.
