State Police at Endwell responded to a report of a train/pedestrian fatal accident Saturday on the Norfolk Southern Railroad behind ABC Lumber in Endwell.

The preliminary investigation revealed that an eastbound Canadian Pacific train observed an individual, later identified as 38-year-old Holly M. Nalepa laying on the tracks. Warning signals were given, but she failed to exit the tracks. The engineer applied brakes but could not stop before striking the woman. Her body was removed to Wilson Memorial Hospital for an autopsy.

The accident remains under investigation
