[quote user="stmtrolleyguy"]If we increased the voltage in the lnes, this lawsuit would have solved itself. I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but these two kids (and I do mean kids) did something stupid.  You don't just go climb up the side of some random tractor trailer do you?  I know these lessons are ones that you can only learn once, but there are limits. The only other thing I could see is reducing the cash award, but having the railroad spend it on sinage warning of high current in the overhead catenary.  It may be pointless, and, assuming the boys are telling the truth, that they didn't know, good, that settles that.  And if they really did know better....a few million that could have been theirs, going instead to some signs they would have ignored anyway....now that would be torture. [/quote] In the old truck stop in Jersey City they do climb up there while you're asleep in the bunk. A quick cut of a power tool and they are in and no one the wiser until after breakfast. If yer smart you waited until you were in either Connecticut or Delaware before sleeping. In a grim way, I second the power boost. I prefer those lines to hum and crackle threatening to fry anyone dumb enough to get up there. Pass a construction zone in the highway and pass multitudes of "POWER LINE" warning signs positioned precisely under each and every line. It was stated earlier in the thread that one of the people overcame thier injuries to join the US Army and serve overseas. Did I read that right?
