Lawrence police officers are investigating the death of a 29-year-old Lawrence man killed on the Union Pacific train tracks in North Lawrence.

The man, whose identity is being withheld pending notification of family members, was struck by an eastbound train on the tracks at North Seventh and Maple streets in North Lawrence.

Police were notified of the incident about 12:11 p.m. Saturday. No foul play is suspected.

Tim Gonce, 43, who lives on North Sixth Street, said the area seems to be accident-prone. He said he would like to see police patrolling the area more.

“It’s kind of a sad deal, but it happens all the time,” he said.

He said he often sees people walking on the sides of the tracks.
