Barbara Arteta, 63, of New Smyrna Beach, returning on an Amtrak train with her husband from a trip to New York with an expected arrival in Sanford, was instead found dead Thursday on railroad tracks in southwestern Georgia.  She disappeared overnight Wednesday with her purse and $1,000 in cash. Only her shoes were left behind. Now law enforcement officials are trying to figure if she was pushed out of a window or fell, the latter more difficult to believe since they are difficult to open.
