Maybe one of two possibilities, either they were listening to music or it was an electric train (no noise)

i once posted it in the cctv section but the vid cut short at the point it hit the teenagers so great find.
Story :

four Samara students were hit from behind while walking on railroad tracks.

The driver was traveling next to a freight train, both going in the same direction, and sounded his horn. Although the driver applied the brakes, the train did not pull up in time and hit the students from behind.

It is believed the noise of the freight train overwhelmed the noise of the warning horn from the driver. In the revised footage shown, at least one of the teens happens to glance sideways, more than likely catching a glimpse of what is to come.

There is some speculation that the foursome may have been involved in some sort of suicide pact, but no evidence has been found to substantiate those claims.

Three of the fourteen yr-old teenagers died on the spot, with one somehow surviving the initial impact, having since been transferred to Pirogov Hospital.

"Three of the fourteen yr-old teenagers died on the spot, with one somehow surviving the initial impact, having since been transferred to Pirogov Hospital."

My guess is, that means the red guy survived the "initial" impact but died later of his wounds. Just kinda seems to be worded strange for an amazing survival scenario.

First two didn't know what hit them, second two were aware at the last second or two but zero time to react. Red guy reacted fastest and most likely thrown aside rather than mowed over like his friends.

I'm guessing they couldn't hear it coming because of the other train and got splattered from behind.

Derp. Should've read your post first, KH

If you stand on tracks long enough, you know what's going to happen. I don't think they were mistakenly just standing around. They were probably suicidal.

Horrific

Strange, seems they were intoxicated and/or suicidal
