Well excuse me, Mattydred.... but I come from a place where trains have the right of way, and the vehicles on the road have to be on the lookout. What's that old saying.... oh yeah... expect a train on any track, in either direction, at any time. Anyone crossing active tracks, ** REGARDLESS OF PROTECTION ** should yield to a train. Yes, people do not do that, as this case, and the recent CONO incident down south, and dozens of others I'm not going to mention. Trains cannot stop on a dime, regardless of their speed. Are we actually defending the guy who hit the train? Come on! What next.. are we going to defend ATVs being on the tracks?
And yes, I DID read the article, several times actually, before I originally posted, and again before this post.
