Rodriguez, 26, was not wearing headphones at the time, he [Beaverton police spokesman Mike Rowe] said, and she is not deaf.
Multiple visual and auditory warnings were all functioning, and the train's conductor climbed onto a walkway on the front of the engine to try to get her attention, he said.
"The conductor was on the front of the train screaming and yelling at her," he said.
"The walk signal actually talks so it was saying, 'Wait, wait, wait.' She's in the crosswalk, and one of the rail arms is actually next to her as she's walking through.""
