I live not too far from the CSX tracks (E/W) and CSXT (N/S) tracks. I've seen people up on the Big Four viaduct at the south end of my city and I've called the police to get them off there. Last week, I heard over the scanner that the police had stopped an adult and several girls who had been walking across the bridge. They told the officer that "We didn't know we weren't supposed to be there." Oh Puh-lease!!!! You have at least an eighth-grade education, since the drivers license exams are geared to that level. So, you couldn't figure out what those signs on either side of the track on both ends of the bridge were actually saying. I'm sure you saw them, they said "No Trespassing. CSX Railroad". It's not like they were nailed forty feet above the tracks, you knew it was wrong. <br /> <br />While the view from the bridge is probably spectacular, it's also dangerous. For a train coming from the east, the view is blocked until the train comes around a bend. If someone is on this bridge and is caught by a train coming from the east, they'll need to be running about 50 mph to outrun the train. Otherwise, the only other way is down to the street below, a drop of some 100 feet. <br /> <br />I sit up on a bridge that's closed to vehicular traffic, but allows pedestrian and bicycle traffic to go across it. I can watch the trains coming from either east or west and the crews know that I'm out of their way and they can concentrate on the business of running their trains.
