  1. I wonder if they'll mind if I go to LA via Omaha.

  2. Maybe put in RR crossings nationwide. Didn’t We pass a trillion $ infrastructure bill? What ever happened to Pete Butigeige ???the transportation secretary. Hello Pete are you being silenced???

  3. Put up a traffic camera that activates when the arms are down and takes a pic of their license plate and sends them a ticket. Oh, and pave the road, make a stop line, install block arms. Sheesh.

    We're just a Amtrak crew

    Racing down the track

    Far from our families

    Who will miss us till we're back.

    We're running by the river

    As it flows muddy brown

    Everywhere at nighty

    Someone hears our sound.

    As we glide across a silver bridge

    Above the Mighty Mo.

    What we'll see when we look down

    We never really know.

    Behind us on those rolling wheels

    Are cars with souls inside

    If we should jump the rail

    History shall judge our ride.

    When we reach the station

    We’ll head for the hotel

    Crawl in bed all by ourselves

    And dream until the bell.

  5. A dump truck left on the tracks? Fatal mistake. RIP people, next stop heaven.

  6. Go boy scouts! They are prepared.

  7. With all these horrible tragedies happening, we ALL need to start praying to our Lord Jesus Christ so this will stop happening. There is a difference in saying you will pray vs. actually praying. All of us can make a difference if we all tell Jesus this is not acceptable. Thank you and Jesus bless all of you!

  8. “What went wrong?” Stupid people behind the wheel of an automobile didn’t “look or listen” before getting on the tracks!! Duh!

  10. Long distance passenger rail should not intersect with auto traffic. What's wrong is the lack of rail road modernization and American norm of the acceptable loss of life. The insurance industry measure vehicluar accidents by standard of preventability. Also, the auto industry continously innovate build in saftey for all hazzards; including human error. Rail and rail car makers build to hazzardous standard regulated by govarnments, Rail road operators operate off the premise that they have exclusive right of way, which is wrongly interpeted as no fault at rail at auto crossings. The unmotivation is cost. Here the expression "the needs of the many out weighs the need of the one" applies. What is the life of a rail operator's CEO life worth, in comparison with its passengers, and rail highway crossing's public? Safety eurgomics is paramount.

  11. How many more have to die? We need to ban trains now!

  12. Has sabotage been ruled out? I never understood how someone could get hit by a train.

  13. oh no thats sounds like #4 as if it wasnt already late

  14. This happen because people have no common sense anymore. I still look both ways b4 I enter a street and same in my vehicle. I see so many people just blindly rush through a light or walk out into a street. Only sympathy I have is for the people on the train. Driver got what he deserved 1 less idiot on the road but so many to go

  15. LP reacted d ryt way, she is von.Monster need of over drama, or over consider ations. She don't deserve *considerationsm. Lp പറഞ്ഞ പോലെ,, ജീവിതം തുടങ്ങിയല്ലേ ഉള്ളു, പഠിക്കട്ടെ.

  16. .  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
