The Venezuelan model had planned to have the fast-moving train in the background of her snaps but ended up standing too close to the tracks.
She was killed instantly.
The emergency services were called to the scene in Zacoalco de Torres near Guadalajara in western Mexico but paramedics could only confirm Bermejo’s untimely death.
Her body was removed from the tracks to undergo an autopsy before being handed over to her family for burial.
The police have collected statements from witnesses who took part in the photoshoot.
Jalisco State prosecutor Joaquín Méndez Ruiz said: “Based on the information we have so far, the victim was taking part in a photoshoot with a person we have already interviewed and some other witnesses at the scene.
“Everything indicates it was an accident.
“She got too close to the train as it was passing.
“The force apparently managed to pull her clothes towards it and that’s what caused her death.”
The investigation into the Venezuelan model’s death is ongoing.
