Gary Man Dies After Being Struck by Coal Train

  MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. (AP) _ A 26-year-old man was killed when he was struck a train delivering coal to a generating station in northwestern Indiana.
 
  Authorities say investigators are trying to determine why 26-year-old Randall Williams of Gary was on the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. property in Michigan City.
