I don't understand the thought process behind sunbathing on a railroad trestle, where there's only enough space for railroad tracks. I was taught from a tender age growing up in the Boston suburbs to always expect a train on the tracks, no matter how quiet the area is.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20554610 Wed, 28 May 2008 21:09:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20554339 vaxvms : It would benefit everyone if schools would take a little time to educate kids about rail safety, 1 hour during the school year. Lots of adults would benefit with a little knowledge too.
Rail Safety Tips]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20554339 Wed, 28 May 2008 20:14:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20554132 Frostbite : Two train incidents in New England today:

Investigator: 2 girls struck by train in Lebanon, Maine
MBTA trains collide in Newton

and one more outside New England:

14 hurt in latest derailment of Chicago train

I'm a proponent of public transportation where it's available, so these things get to me a bit. The first incident sounds like it was totally avoidable if people did as they were warned and stayed away from active railroad tracks. The other two sound like operator error.

It won't stop me from taking the train, but today's news is almost like a perfect storm. :/
