The popular restaurant sits in an isolated spot along the Potomac River and railroad line on Prince William County’s Cherry Hill Peninsula near Dumfries.
Virginia Railway Express officials said Train 311 bound for Fredericksburg fatally struck the pedestrian who was walking on the tracks about 7:30 p.m.

Two Amtrak trains, 66 and 125 that were both stopped south of the collision scene, will also be allowed to move through the area, said Roeber.
