By all accounts, the engineer did a masterful job of bringing his train to a stop. It had taken a screaming, screeching half mile. By the time the engine shuddered to a standstill, Conductor Jerry Tomlin was on the radio notifying an approaching train on a parallel track to stop because some boys had been run over. He also called the dispatcher. “Have you got injuries?” The dispatcher asked. “No,” Tomlin said. “We’ve got death.” -From “The Boys on the Tracks” by Mara LeverittTonight we discuss the case that many wanted to keep quiet. Two teenagers are run over by a train in the middle of the night. Was it an accident, a double suicide or a double murder? Join us in the garage for the tragic story of the boys on the tracks.

This is truly one of your most epic deep dives. This 4 part series made me fall in love with your podcast and I always recommend it to people.
My favorite episodes of all time! I can still remember exactly where I was when I listened to this series!
Such a fascinating case.
Beautiful introduction for these boys. Thank you guys for all your hard work 🙏💜
Best of the Garage here folks.
I've heard that every conductor hits someone if they do the job long enough. That's really gotta suck. A lot of people commit suicide by train and they never put any thought into the guy driving the thing.
Definitely one of my favorite cases. Great job guys!!
Feels like old times…
If anyone has done research (like these awesome guys) you’ll understand this case was clearly a drug cartel cover up. The Governor at that time (whom I shall not name) knows the real story, so does the autopsy doctor and so does the sheriff… CORRUPTION AT THE WORST
I'm already stuck on the fact that the Father told the Mother in the initial phone call that the boys had been shot.
I love this channel

Heavy than police work – rail laws are heavy –
Perhaps add DNA run along with beer run – give options ? What u want ? Like what 1500 for DNA to give best ? U care or be making cash from this ? – I’d spend cash on making sure a DNA got run from best hey –
