The girls's death comes a week after a three-year-old boy was struck by a train in regional Victoria and died in hospital the next day.Oh, you think? Hard to see how the train could have been travelling on the wrong side of the barrier without the article being about a deadly derailment. Oh well, I suppose it makes a change from wildly inaccurate or inappropriate picture captions.
Last month, a 70-year-old woman was killed by a train at a level crossing at McKinnon railway station.
Police believe she was standing on the wrong side of the pedestrian safety barrier when struck by a city-bound train.

The bleeding obvious
Another example of the journalistic art of stating the perfectly obvious, this time courtesy of The Australian reporting on the sad death of a 15 year old girl at a railway crossing, the latest in a series of railway deaths recently (my bold).
