VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A train struck and killed a 16-year-old girl walking by railroad tracks in the Columbia River Gorge.

BNSF Railway spokesman Gus Melonas told The Columbian newspaper the girl was walking Sunday around noon on the north side of the tracks, near a fishing camp on the Skamania County side of the river, about a mile (1.6 kilometers) west of the Bridge of the Gods.
