This is what an engineer who is on the FEC railfan group im subscribed to had to say about it:

Tragedy at Crane Creek Bridge this evening. FEC 101 encountered 3 female trespassers on Crane Creek Bridge. The details are slim right now, from what I'm to understand, one went in the water and two did not. This will be real tough on the crew because it wasn't a suicide, it was three girls trying to take a short cut across the bridge. I can just imagine what the crew is going through mentaly right now. A sad night for those involved.
