Moscow, July 4: In a tragic end to a couple's shot at romance on a railway track, a woman was run over by a train and her lover injured while the two were kissing on the rails in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk.

The train driver blew the whistle to caution the kissing couple to leave the track, but the 27-year-old woman and her 30-year-old partner could not hear it due to the noise caused by a freight train passing on a parallel track.

The woman finally saw the train approaching and pushed the man away from the tracks.

She herself had no time to escape and died instantly, while the man received a leg injury, RIA Novosti reported.

The couple was so busy kissing that they did not heed the warning calls given by a witness and whistles of a nearby railway crossing attendant, the police said in a statement.
