Trespasser!
June 24, 2008
I was up front in the engine of a train the other day with Operation Lifesaver, a group promoting safety on the tracks and at railroad crossings. We were rolling through Utah County watching people disregard safety. Like most of us, I had only seen things from the view of the pedestrian walking across the tracks— the trespasser (enlarged at right. Anyone know this guy?)— or the driver in the car trying to rush across while it’s still somewhat safe— the idiot. The view from inside the train was a lot different. I was amazed to see car after car trying to speed across the tracks before the train got to the crossing. When a police car turned on his red and blue lights and went after one such driver that rushed across, three more drivers followed the cop across the tracks in their mad dash to get somewhere.
