i always thought that "trespasser" was an extremely bad and pointless euphemism for such accidents and maybe that's why these posts are making me cackle like a wicked witch

Oxxidation posted:i always thought that "trespasser" was an extremely bad and pointless euphemism for such accidents and maybe that's why these posts are making me cackle like a wicked witch It's one of those general terms covering everything from "drunk on the tracks" to "starting a fight with the cops" to keep the passengers calm along the rest of the trainline. Something's happening, but you just don't really need to know someone splattered themselves across the front of a high-speed train further up the line.

The regularity of people apparently falling asleep on railroad tracks astounds me. That looks like about 1000 times more uncomfortable than like, even the dirt 4 feet to the side.

My brother in law was in charge of a big track and crossing maintenance crew for a long time before he retired, and he got called out to every train accident in 500 miles. He is one of the kindest and most generous men I've ever met in my life but he loving despised anyone who managed to get themselves hit by a train. People tend not to think about the people operating the train or cleaning the crossings after those accidents, but apparently a lot of them end up severely traumatized by it.

Apparentlu here in the UK if a train driver runs over and kills three people total he automatically gets a retirement package on full wage for the rest of his life, which seems like a pretty good deal really. This also might not be true
