Tulsa, OK – Man found dead on Tulsa train tracks

TULSA, Okla. (AP) The body of a man has been found on train tracks in Tulsa.

A nearby business owner found the body shortly after a train passed by Saturday morning and called police.

Police say a driver's license was found on the body but declined to release the man's name pending notification of family.

Officer Brandon Smith says it appears the victim is a homeless man.

The train did not stop and a sign posted nearby says remote control locomotives operate in the area and may not be occupied.
