At the time, the report notes, the train was moving at 115 mph.
The train's engineer, in the report, said he spotted the three men struggling as the train came around a curve. The engineer radioed in that there were trespassers on the track and "went into emergency and sounded his horn."
In the moments before the incident, the engineer told investigators, he saw two men trying to pull a third man -- who was wearing a white shirt -- away from the tracks, but then the third man fell and all three men went onto the tracks.
The strike, the report says, happened at 6:02 p.m.
After this incident occurred, Michele Cramp, mother of David and Thomas, and ex-wife of Christopher, told NBC10 that on the day of the incident, she was on her way to see her sons.
"I was on my way to them to take them out to dinner because we were going to go out with my son. I got there 15 minutes too late," said Michele Cramp.
She said that her sons were both husbands and fathers.
Officials and family friends said that the elder Cramp was a volunteer firefighter and worked as an outreach coordinator who served the unhoused and those with mental health issues.
