Presumably he saw the body before  or felt the impact after?

These sorts of stories are not uncommon. I can't figure out how someone, no matter how drunk, might decide "oh yeah, take a nap on railroad tracks. What could go wrong?" Although the wooden ties are called "sleepers"....

I would suspect he saw the body. He wouldn't notice any impact in a train.

Think it said he saw the body on the tracks, tooted his horn, but no way could the train be stopped in time.
