Thursday evening update that includes corrected time of incident:
A 19-year-old man remains hospitalized after he was hit by a train in College Station Wednesday night shortly before 11 p.m.
Union Pacific officials say the man, whose identity has not been released, report his injuries are no longer considered to be life threatening. No one on the train was hurt.
College Station police say the man was walking his bicycle across the tracks in the area of University and Wellborn when the southbound train approached and the man was not able to get away in time.
