"Fried Green Tomatoes" has that as a subplot. Buddy, the older brother of Idgy Threadgood, dies when trying to retrieve a girl's hat.
On May 10, 2008 Jessie Jacobs was walking along the platform at Cheltenham station when she tripped and fell onto the tracks and into the path of an oncoming train. She couldn't move out of the way in time and died instantly from her injuries when the train hit her. That day she was on the way to meet her mother so they could buy a birthday present for her older half-brother Adam. Jacobs was 17 at the time of her death. The police took several hours to find the family because the teenager, who was arriving home from an overnight stay with a friend, was carrying fake ID. She is buried at St Kilda Cemetery in St Kilda, Victoria
The train and its whistle appear in the movie every time there is approaching danger. You'll hear it in the park before Bob's death, in the vacant lot when Ponyboy determines he's late getting home and will have to face Darry, and so many other times throughout the movie. Since S. E. Hinton wrote about "the greasers who live on the wrong side of the tracks," the train has played an important role in the novel and the movie. The train gives Ponyboy and Johnny a way out of the city when they run away to Windrixville, as well as the soundtrack for danger.
