A man died after being hit by a train on the line near Marton Station in Middlesbrough.
Police officers from the Cleveland force, British Transport Police and Cleveland Fire crews were called to the incident at 3.45pm on Saturday, just north of the railway station near the Park End estate.
Several police cars and paramedics - as well as a private ambulance - congregated in the Marton Station car park just off Ladgate Lane.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene. His death is not being treated as suspicious.
Northern
Rail confirmed someone had been hit by a train and services along the
line between Nunthorpe and Middlesbrough ceased until 5.45pm.
A
spokeswoman for British Transport Police, who could not confirm the
man’s age, said: “British Transport Police officers were called to the
line near to Marton train station on Saturday, October 19, after a
report of a person being struck by a train.
“Officers from British
Transport Police and Cleveland Police attended the incident, which is
being treated as non-suspicious, arriving at 15.50 hours.
“Paramedics also attended, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.” Emergency services at the scene after a man died on the railway line near Marton

She added the train involved was a Northern Rail service from Nunthorpe to Hexham.
A full report is being prepared for the coroner, who has been informed.
A mum from Park End, who asked not to be named, said she was aware of other accidents involving trains along the line in the past.
“I’ve heard of some accidents on the track around here, but not a lot,” she said.
“It’s a terrible shame.”
Another
woman said she didn’t know exactly where the incident had occurred, but
had seen the police helicopter hovering overhead on Saturday.
A Northern Rail spokeswoman said any traumatic incident which affects employees triggers a chain of care.
“This
includes thorough training and awareness to prepare our employees as
well as counselling after an incident has happened,” she said.
“We
also work closely with the Samaritans, providing a call-out service for
people in distress. We make sure there is post-incident support
available for everyone, both employees and customers and develop links
with mental health services.”
