Part 1: Uncovering the Tragic Event
The Setting: Hidalgo, Mexico
So it was that, in June 2024, on a typical Monday near Hidalgo, Mexico, a crowd was amazed to catch sight of a vintage train powered by a steam engine: the “Empress.” Although really named Canadian Pacific 2816, the train drew the attention of those with the slightest interest in trains and garnered local attention. Inaugurated in 1930, the Empress ran on that very special ride, all the way from Calgary, Canada, to Mexico City.
The Victim: A Young Woman Taking a Selfie
Among the gathering was a young woman in her late 20s, or so she was widely reported as being, and a local. She was, like most everyone else on the platform, interested in getting this moment recorded with the oncoming classic train they were waiting for in the shot. The woman of beauty and grace, as reputed for the train, knelt near the tracks to grab a selfie. The grand locomotive in the background could now be immediately noticed.
The Tragedy That Was Afoot
So in the act of getting set to take the photo, this woman wearing an orange top was so innocent about what was going to happen next. The child, almost intuitively sensing the approaching behemoth locomotive, ducked as the train came, whereas the subject woman was still crouching with eyes fixed and attempting to take the perfect selfie. Before she could register what had happened, the surge of the train engine had hit her on the back of the head, and she was propelled forward in a crash. The incident was caught on camera and produced a feeling of disbelief and horror in onlookers and other witnesses.
The Aftermath: Shock and Grief
The impact was strong, and the woman is believed to have been killed instantly. A man nearby rushed to the scene and ran to grab the body and pull it away from the passing train, so that no further damage could occur. The child who had witnessed the whole scenario ran away, out of the trauma, from the tracks.
Part 2: Reactions to and Responses from the Incident
Local Outlets and Social Media Erupt
The news of this terrible worrisome incident started to spread like a wildfire, and local Mexican outlets quickly pick it up alongside social media.

At the same time, this video content also reminded viewers about the risks of trains and urged people to be cautious near them.
Public Outrage and Sympathy
People expressed shock and sorrow at the incident, offering their deepest sympathies to the family and others close to the victim while imagining the loss of life. People also expressed their disgust at the probable train hazards and the failure of safety regulations brought into being to avert such a situation. Some even voiced for better safety protocols and education so that such incidents can be averted in the future.
Reflections on Selfie Culture and Risks

Calls arose for people to be more careful and sensible about the environment they are in when taking selfies, especially concerning themselves with factors like trains or other dangerous objects and situations.
Train Lovers and Safety Worries
The accident also brought to light the potential dangers combined with people who are there to look at special trains. In this case, it was the event of Empress’s passage.

At least rail fans and hobbyists were made aware that a balance needed to be struck between being responsible for their passion and their actions.

Many have learned to stay away from the movement, those residing along the tracks, and those that concern the two. As pointed out by train operators and the authority in charge, people are always expected to keep a 10-meter or safe distance—that is, not crossing the quays in front of an oncoming train.
Educational Initiatives and Campaigns
It was after this incident that educational schemes and safety campaigns started to be carried out to make trains safe and prevent such mishaps from occurring. These campaigns mainly focused on creating awareness related to any possible outcomes that could emanate from dangerous Silly acts near the vicinity of a moving train, or on the train tracks. They tried to instill responsible and careful acts through awareness of the surroundings. The train operating authorities, together with community-based forums and the district administration, spread this safety message through as many sources as possible, including social network sites and district-level events.

What was meant to be a journey showing the best in the beauty of trains to many train enthusiasts through the journey of the Empress turned out to be an account of the diverse dangers that came attached to it. This paved the way for discussions in those communities about responsible train spotting/spiking and photography and socialized life values like the need to religiously follow safety guidelines being shared by the train operators and authorities.
Ethical Concerns and Media Sensationalism
The sharing of the video on social media platforms automatically raised ethical issues—it is graphic footage that could bring about imperative conversations regarding train safety, or, on the other hand, could exploit the tragedy of the victim for sensationalism and clickbait.
