The article that I linked earlier said this:"The eight-count complaint states that the company should have known that pedestrians routinely cross the tracks at that location but did not post ''No Trespassing'' signs on the west side of the tracks. Yes, it's trespassing, but that hardly stops anyone from using the spot to get to a running path on the east side of the tracks, her attorneys say."It would be interesting to learn why pedestrians routinely cross the tracks at that location.  The implication is that for some logistical reason, pedestrian traffic funnels down to cross the tracks at one particular location.  To the extent that this crossing gets concentrated to one location, it should become more obvious to the railroad company, especially if the pedestrians wear a path on both sides of the crossing point.  I know of a similar situation near where I live.  There is a public trail system at one point, nearly abutting a private trail system.  A railroad mainline separates the two trail systems.  Trail users routinely cross the tracks to get from one trail system to the other.  Not only is there a well-worn path on each side, but they have also eroded the crushed rock ballast right out from between the ties.
