BEVERLY — A man was struck and killed by a train in Beverly on Wednesday night, marking the second North Shore train death in 10 days.
MBTA Transit Police said the man was “intentionally trespassing” on the right of way when he was struck by an MBTA Commuter Rail train near Prides Crossing at about 8:25 p.m. The train was an inbound train on the Gloucester branch.
Transit Police said the man was pronounced dead as a result of his injuries. The agency said foul play is not suspected.
“On behalf of the TDP and the entire MBTA organization we express our sincere condolences to the decedent’s family and friends,” Transit Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan said.
The incident happened just 10 days after a Beverly man was struck by a commuter train on tracks on the Salem-Beverly line.
The Essex District Attorney’s office identified the man, Christopher Thigpen, who died July 21 after being struck about noon by a southbound rail train as he walked across the bridge between Beverly and Salem.
