Pepin says investigators are working to identify the victim.

The collision happened in the same area where a 29-year-old man in a wheelchair was struck and killed by a CN train in late July.

CN spokesman Patrick Waldron said several crossings were blocked for about two hours as the train was stopped for the police investigation.

Waldron said the lights and gates at the crossing were working at the time of the collision.
