Re: (erielack) Two killed by passenger trains within 48 hours

List,

I completely agree with Bill Guimes.

I think the only lesson to be learned from this (and the one comment not yet
brought up) is for all railfans to stay off railroad property when watching
trains or taking pictures of them.

Details of fatalities, whether yesterday or back in the days of the EL, are
simply inappropriate for those not directly involved in the incident and
most of those who have been so involved seldom wish to be reminded of that
dreadful moment. I speak as one who has killed, maimed, and scared numerous
trespassers including fools with cameras as well as being involved as a
counselor to engineers in critical incidents including the one last night.

Back to the good stuff.

Steve
