In a previous Patch article, ACE Train spokesperson Thomas Reeves told Patch that a man who had been on the tracks was a "trespasser."
Livermore Pleasanton fire officials said the man appeared to have been "walking his bicycle across the tracks at the time of the incident."
Union Pacific Police investigators have not yet been reached for comment as to why Cordova was on the train tracks.
