PORTLAND (AP) – Police are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found near railroad tracks along Forest Avenue near Woodfords Corner.
Police were awaiting positive identification before releasing the name of the dead woman, who was believed to have been hit by a train. The body was spotted by a woman who was headed to work around 6 a.m. Thursday.
The last train passed through the area around midnight and police said there were no reports from the train crew about anyone being hit.
It was raining and dark at the time, so it wouldn’t be obvious to the train’s crew if someone had been struck, said Lt. Vern Malloch.
