zardoz charlie hebdo There are those who read Breitbart then there are humans. I thought that those who looked to Breitbart for actual information mostly looked at the pictures due to their inability to actually read any words of three letters or greater.

Gee, Koko and other gorillas can do better than that, albeit with ASL or lexigrams!!
I took a Capitol Corridor train last week and it was on time and very nice. The interior of the double-decker cars reminded me of commuter cars in the Netherlands. Modern, clean and convenient. And I would not call any of the Caltrain commuter trains slow. They are fast and fun to watch.
I am reminded of the episode South Park did years ago about the homeless. They had a song too:

tree68 BaltACD There are two kinds of homeless. Those that really want someplace to call home; and others that have no desire to be 'trapped' in a permanent living location. Exactly.

Exactly.
Minneapolis and Green Bay have less of a problem with year round homeless camps.

tree68From the SacBee article: "He isn’t interested in going to a shelter." The article goes on to say that he likes his current hiding spot because it's close to a store... I would suspect that virtually no program to deal with the homeless is going to be successful with someone like that.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

I had the Santa Fe side of the LA Terminal in the 1990's ... the only thing that has apparently changed is the size of the problem. Parts of LA were an open dump ... and the City badgers the living crap out of you to clean up after their finer invasive citizenry and turns their back on the source of the problem.
[Note P.S.] Due to the way the 'Program Works' on this Forum...I had attempted to put an apostrophe in the Title line, but it came back as almost unreadable..
The article I had linked was done in conjunction to an artilcle that was in the Sacramento Bee Newspaper "Capitol Corridor trains have been running late. It’s not because of freight traffic" By Tony Bizjak
Article linked here: @ http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/transportation/article208599289.html
FTA:'...Trains along the popular Capitol Corridor are running later than before, and homeless camps are partly to blame.
Rail officials say more people have trespassed on train tracks in the last year, forcing engineers at times to hit the brakes to avoid a possible crash – and at times tragically unable to. That’s left trains loaded with commuters or freight grinding to a halt in the middle of nowhere.
Capitol Corridor board chair Lucas Frerichs said the issue is foremost about human safety. But, it’s also a business problem..."
So for the folks who did not like my first choice.. Maybe this linked article is more compatable(?)

It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any
I am sure the homeless are very welcome on the State Capitol grounds, or not??

http://www.breitbart.com/california/2018/04/16/cal-trains-running-even-slower-due-to-homeless-on-tracks/
article by Chris W.Street
FTA: "...California’s terrible commuter rail service speeds and on-time performance are growing worse, due to homeless camps near the tracks and transients wandering on the rails.
The Sacramento Bee reports that train engineers are warning system operators and passengers that homeless people wandering on the rails have been hit, and engineers have been forced to slow and make high-speed emergency stops to avoid hitting transients.
But even with Amtrak’s Capitol Corridor passenger service, which operates between Sacramento and Silicon Valley, combining with the Union Pacific Railroad freight service on adjacent tracks to report homeless encampments to law enforcement, California’s homeless have civil rights allowing them to nest on city sidewalks and near isolated train tracks. {emphasis added..SP}
My thought was that this is the first mention I'd ever seen that "Trespassing" was a Civil Right.
If this is the case, is it only out in California? Or is it somehow, to be applied Nationwide? WHERE or from WHOM has this Legal Opinion originated?
Based on some of the Threads on this Forum, it possibly, can be a game changer. Rail Fans and Photographers would certain be among the first to be effected, IMHO.
