this fucking thread.

Teach your kids not to play by trains. It's pretty easy to avoid a train

Although in this situation the kids were pretty young.

Well yeah. Lots are probably rented.

Could be deeded with HOA rules against fences, too.

Probably going to see a lawsuit against the park and the railroad.

Definitely, I can see a lawsuit coming.


This guy used to be in the local NWI news a lot and has won crazier cases. But then again I wouldn’t believe everything you read in the newspapers

In addition, if we just pass out interstellar jump suits to everyone, the world will be a better place.

Serious question, what would the lawsuit say?

Probably something along the lines of RR and park knew children played on the tracks and did nothing to prevent it.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I was going to say... "Negligence in preventing access to their right of way..." or some B.S. along those lines...

Because every rail road will now have to spend millions to install fences on every square foot of trackage throughout the country to prevent something like this.

 

[Marko]

The lawyers would definitely sue the RR because they have deep pockets and insurance up the ass.

It takes a long distance to stop a train. Even if the engineers were wide awake

Yes, Im aware

There was a video I saw of an engineer telling a horror story that he killed a mother and child crossing the tracks. He was put on time off for a couple days
