Well traveled by pedestrians. I have seen the path.

I use to carry my bicycle over a pair of tracks in Northampton before Amtrak was rerouted through a few miles North along with many others until a rail trail tunnel was built under the mainline.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Trespasser was struck.  

Never too old to have a happy childhood!

She pushed her grand daugher out of the way.Her grandaughter tried to grab her but the loco hit her hand. Grand mother thrown a hundred feet. Loco doing fifty mph at that point, normal speed.

There is a tunnel not to far away but opened only for school hours. Some school kids still cross here.
