Maybe the mystery second train came from behind and swerved off its mysterious second track into the cyclist victim while she was waiting for the first train to clear the intersection.
Suppose the signal lights', and signal gates are malfunctioning. Then you don't hear the train coming.

Do you meant the Suzuki GS750? My father had one of them in the 1970's n' 1980's.

Just my two cents.
See, You actually are taking responsibility, for wearing them.
