What's That Sound?

(2 August 2002, Kansas)  Police said a man was struck 
and killed by a train after his vehicle broke down on Interstate 35. 
His attempts at repairing his car had failed, and he was calling 
for help when the train engineer spotted him standing on the tracks. 
The engineer said the man was holding a cell phone to one ear, 
and cupping his hand to the other ear to block the noise of the train.
