Viet Nam War Protestor Hit By Train In Okaland CA - 1960's

[Coastie for Truth]

During the VietNam war a protestor tried to block a train (I think at the old Oakland CA Army Depot). In the past the trains had stopped, and the cops dragged the protestors off of the tracks. But this time the cops waved the train on - and the protestor was hit by the locomotive.

I remember it from the 6PM news - back in the late 1960's. But can't find it on Google.

Does anyone have any information on this.

Concord Naval Weapons Depot....

The facility depicted in the movie "The Rock" where they stole the VX gas.

Anyway I believe that it was at that facility where the guy got ran over.

2. He was run over trying to block a train as cops watched?

I don't know I should laugh or cry at that.
