Killer Job: Bodybuilding Model Killed by Oncoming Train when Trying to Film Commercial On Train tracks

Greg Plitt, 37, among the more recognizable faces and physiques in the fitness industry, was shooting a video for his website with two crew members when the Metrolink commuter train hit him Saturday afternoon in Burbank. Report says he tries to out run oncoming train. Must be a joker to think he can. Sad though.

His girlfriend Christina Stejskal told the LA Times he was 'just trying to get the best shot.' He wanted to push things to the limit,' said a weeping Stejskal in an interview Monday.He's just like Superman.' 


Metrolink spokesman Scott Johnson said Monday warn against taking photo shoots on train. Walking on tracks is trespassing, Johnson said.
'The tracks are for one thing — trains,' he said.
It appears Plitt may have believed the train was on a nearby, parallel track, Meadows said.
'It's like a blind turn,' he said. 'When the train came, you might not be able to tell which set the train is on.'
