   A northern Kentucky teenager was struck and killed by a train   
   while jogging on railroad tracks near his home while wearing   
   headphones, a county sheriff's office said on Friday.   
      
   Elijah Wagers, 14, a freshman-to-be who planned to play football   
   at Walton-Verona High School, was killed on Thursday night,   
   Boone County Sheriff’s spokesman said Tom Scheben, spokesman for   
   the Boone County Sheriff's Department.   
      
   Witnesses said Wagers was wearing headphones while running down   
   the tracks near his Verona, Kentucky, home when he was hit,   
   Scheben said.   
      
   Wagers enrolled in the district last year after being home   
   schooled and was a great student, said Kim Chevalier, assistant   
   superintendent for Walton-Verona Independent Schools.   
      
   The high school, about 20 miles south of Cincinnati, planned to   
   open its doors Friday afternoon and make school staff,   
   counselors and a psychiatrist available for students.   
      
   "It's a huge tragedy for us," Chevalier said in a telephone   
   interview.   
      
   Wagers was struck by a CSX Corp. train, CSX spokeswoman Kaitlyn   
   Barrett said. The railroad is investigating the matter and has   
   resumed operations on the tracks, she said.
