Police in Georgetown say the three were hit by a Carload Express train early Sunday morning as they walked on railroad tracks.

The woman was pronounced dead and the two men were taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Detective Joseph Melvin said police were dispatched to the railroad tracks behind the 600 block of North Bedford Street after the train engineer reported the incident.

The names of the victims are being withheld pending notification of next of kin. No charges have been filed.

Melvin said the two men were still in critical condition late Sunday afternoon.
