Man Walking On Railroad Tracks Killed By Train
March 29, 2016
A man died this morning after being struck by a train while walking on railroad tracks.
Shawn Rhineburger, 21, of 1200 Scenic Highway Pensacola died at the scene of the incident, which occurred just before 8 a.m. on railroad tracks just south of the intersection of Scenic Highway and Bayview Way.
Lt. Kevin Christman said Rhineburger was wearing headphones while walking northbound on the tracks. The CSX train also was northbound. Christman said the conductor sounded the train’s horn and tried unsuccessfully to stop before striking Rhineburger.

He was an amazing friend. We were really close he used to come and hang out all the time. I’ll never forget the day this happened I still thank about what a great person he was he had such and uplifting spirit and wanted nothing more then to make other happy. You will always be missed Hippie we love you
This guy was my childhood /rolemodel basically my brother he was definitely my family. I miss him you never know what you have until well…….. He’s gone I’ll miss him terribly my hometown won’t ever be my home town without him. I some times cry because honestly why does someone that good of a guy have to die its not fair (well exclude he was a compulsive liar:; everyone has flaws) I love you brother. Sucks without u but I’m just glad to see what a real person is and at least I had some real family in my life because even though your dead shawn right about now your about the only family that’s never did me wrong and p.s I still get mad when I see tracks or even hear Shawn or Florida so thanks man but really headphones I could punch you!!!!!!……. In memory Shawn Rhineburger always in my thoughts and also stick in there to his mother she took it the worst most of all I miss you family god bless tear ;(
I remember all the times I would go to Shawn’s house nearly every chance I could I really am going to miss him he was like a older brother to me he saved my life many times and me and him would sing together all the time I am glade that I got to know him I will never forget how great of a friend he really was heartbroken to hear of his death and I still remember the last time me and him hung out it was at church I wish he were still around He always cheered me up when I was feeling down and he always had an optimistic view on everything even my choices He never was mean ever he was the kindest most generous and caring person I ever knew he was a true angle of a guy too many people ignored him while he never let anything put him down he is a one of a kind friend and I will forever miss him this world needs more people like shawn he is a good person with a pure soul
I knew Shawn like a brother. We shared a mutual bond through music. We both played guitar together, and when we messed up, would always crack jokes at each other. He was a bullheaded SOB, but we more than got along. I’m gonna miss him terribly.
I knew him. He was a good person. All he ever wanted to do was help others. And it really hurts that this happened… He will be missed. Everyone knew him as “Hippie”. He was such a kind soul… RIP..
Tragic for all involved.
Tragic. Why walk on tracks especially wearing headphones? How can one not feel the vibrations of an approaching train, or the horn? So sad.
Such a tragedy for this to happen to this young man, yet avoidable if only….
Please note, all that have ear buds or text and use the electronic devices that are part of the culture…BEWARE!
