Two people on Caltrain tracks were struck and killed Saturday in separtate incidents, a Caltrain official confirmed to The Associated Press.
The first death occured at 11:10 a.m. PST, when a southbound Baby Bullet express train hit and killed a man who Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn said was "trespassing" on the tracks near Palo Alto's California Avenue station.
Then, at 12:13 p.m., another person on the train tracks north of the Menlo Park station was struck by a southbound No. 428 train. Dunn said that 120 passengers onboard the train elected to exit the train at that station.
As of 12:50 p.m., service had resumed at reduced speeds on a single northbound track, Dunn said. Southbound service at Menlo Park was not running. Last Saturday, a middle-aged man was hit and killed at the same Palo Alto station, Dunn said. Today's fatalities put the number of Caltrain deaths this year at 16, Dunn told the AP.
