(erielack) Burial Along the Railroad

On March 38, 1935 about a mile north of Homer, NY a DL&W passenger train 
struck a cow and derailed four cars.  Two passengers were killed, one 
instantly when a seat broke loose, fatally injuring her.  A gentleman was 
severely injured and died at the scene.  The man's body was sent home, 
Syracuse area.  The woman was buried adjacent to the tracks.

I wonder if a crew that works/worked on the Syracuse branch has seen a trace 
of this.  Also wonder how common this was, a burial right beside the 
railroad when an accident happend.
