Just after 1:30 p.m. Sunday there are a lot of reports of emergency responders near the La Cumbre Road underpass by Highway 101. It’s unclear whether this is on the Modoc Road side or the Calle Real side. Either way they believe a body was found. Also unclear if this was due to a jump or not.

Does anyone know the stories of these unfortunate people? I wonder if we would learn anything from seeing them?
Pitmix just walk the train tracks and find out.
