Slanty Eyed 41-year-old Chull Kwak DIDN'T see 137 car coal train that turned Kwak into a pile of shredded rice

(GLENVIEW, IL) A man was struck and killed by a Union Pacific freight train Sunday evening in north suburban Glenview.
About 6:40 p.m., the three-locomotive, 137-car train carrying coal from Wyoming to an electric company in Wisconsin struck the man near Cove Lane and Dearlove Road in Glenview, according to Union Pacific spokesman Mark Davis.
The man, identified as 41-year-old Chull Kwak, who lived next to the tracks where he was struck, was dead at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday.
Union Pacific was providing peer support for crew members of the train, Davis said.
The Cook County sheriff’s office is investigating.
