Collateral Damage 0
This poor railroad engineer will have to live with the memory of this the rest of his or her life, and it wasn’t his or her fault.
As my two or three regular readers know, I worked for the railroad for over two decades; this sort of stuff happens every day because persons carelessly (and sometimes intentionally) put themselves in harm’s way, forgetting that the railroad is a place of business, not a scenic overlook or a nature trail or a shortcut to where they want to go.
Don’t take chances with trains.
If it’s a tie, you lose.
