Allentown, PA Morning Call, 5/20/15:

 


Did they fall? Did they jump?

 

Authorities said they don't know why a 21-year-old Easton woman who graduated from college a week and a half ago hopped a freight train with her boyfriend sometime Tuesday night.

 

But around 10:45 p.m. in south Bethlehem, they jumped or fell off the westbound Norfolk Southern train near Second Street, police said.

A more responsible headline writer would have asked and answered, "Did they trespass?" Let's look at the whole picture, such as why the two were even on the freight train to begin with.  Story
