No doubt a horrible way to die, but what were they doing there in the first place? Is there still a craze for 'train surfing'? I remember reading about some kids dying while doing that in Germany, but that was at least twenty years ago.

Yes, I've watched two documentaries about it. In one, a filmmaker and her friends did it themselves.
