LIMESTONE COUNTY, Ala. — A woman’s body was found on top of a train in northern Alabama on Saturday, officials said.

The woman, whose name was not released, was found in Limestone County, Coroner Mike West told WAFF-TV.

West said the body was found on the top of the train on Harris Station Road, but it was unclear how she ended up there, according to WAAY-TV. The body of the woman, whose age was not released, will go to a forensics lab to determine the cause of death, the television station reported.
