[quote]QUOTE: It's like I have always said, people should not have to cross open rails. A bridge or a tunnel would have prevented this horrible accident. [/quote] I was quite suprised that people WERE still crossing open rails. It suprised me that there are stations where people are crossing rails, that could very well be operating "express through" trains at any time. I realize that there are procedures to try and make this practice safe, but as seen in the story above these accidents will happen unless you completely take away the opportunity for it to happen (pedestrian bridges or tunnels or what have you). In the lower mainland we have the SkyTrain and at no one time in any of the stations are passengers required to cross over the rails on a level basis. Of course when the SkyTrain was built in the '80s this was likely a give-in, and not up for debate. Surely money is the only factor in up-grading these station, therefore it all comes down to the old argument of "What price can you put on a human life?"
