Posted — UpdatedENFIELD, N.C. — A man was killed Monday evening when he tried to cross a set of railroad tracks in Halifax County and was hit by a freight train, authorities said.
The unidentified man was trying to cross the tracks on foot at West Brunette Avenue at about 5 p.m. Monday and was hit by a CSX train headed from Rocky Mount to Cumberland, Md., CSX spokesman Garrick Francis said.
