Mert Karaoglan, 18, and Charleigh Disbrey, 15, were found dead near a busy commuter station in Hertfordshire.
The A-level student's father Sakru, 48, said his son had told him he was 'going out for one or two hours' on Monday evening but he never returned.
Today the grieving father, supported by relatives, visited the scene in Borehamwood where his son died on Monday evening.

Disbrey were found dead
Mert and talented musician Charleigh -
known as CJ - were under the arches of a brick footbridge in
Borehamwood when they were hit by a locomotive travelling at more than
90mph.Investigators later found two notes on the body of Mert and a single note on Charleigh, a talented musician who said she 'would give anything to be famous'.
Sakru was accompanied by around a dozen friends and relatives as he visited the bridge today.
He was too distraught to speak and Mert's cousin Ali Kalak said that the father had been crying for two days.
Anguish: Mert's father Sakru said his son had told him he would be back in an hour or two when he went out on Monday evening
'We want to know what happened. There are so many questions and no answers.'
Sakru told The Sun that his son went out on Monday evening promising to be back soon.
'We told him not to be out late,' he said. We were waiting and waiting. Then the police came round to see us at nine this morning. I can't stop crying.'
He added: 'He was a happy person - everything seemed okay.'
Victim: Charleigh, known as CJ, had uploaded a
haunting rendition of herself singing the David Guetta hit song Titanium
just days before she died
Floral tributes: More flowers which were
left outside the gates of Hertswood Academy. The teenagers' headteacher
described them as 'talented, hard-working and well-respected'
Grief: Tributes left outside the school for the two teenagers. The deaths were announced in a special assembly
Today Charleigh's mother Sandie Barnes said she was enduring a nightmare, and wrote that she just wanted her daughter back.
She wrote on a tribute site: 'Charleigh my Baby my Angel, I just can’t believe you have been taken from me like this, u are my beautiful very talented little girl!! Please someone wake me up from this nightmare. Please I just want my daughter back.'
The deaths of Mert and Charleigh, who attended Hertswood Academy, are not being treated as suspicious.
Charleigh had auditioned for the television shows Britain's Got Talent and Must Be The Music in the past.
The GCSE pupil had posted videos of herself on YouTube playing an acoustic guitar and had written on her website that she wanted to become a musician 'to be remembered'.
Just days before her death she had uploaded a haunting rendition of herself singing the David Guetta hit song Titanium.
Charleigh's grandmother and sister were among wellwishers who left flowers close to the scene.
