- Double-track trestle over the Rouge River is where two Metro teenagers were killed yesterday by an east-bound GO train. Ignoring no trespassing signs, Pat Casserly, 13, and Robin Wright, 18, climbed a six-foot fence, went out on the trestle to try diving from it. When they saw the train and heard its horn, they tried to outrun it instead of jumping or taking two steps to the other track.
