Mike that angelsontrack lines out how to sue the RR. I remember this story. The kid tried to beat the train and lost. Duh! If that were my daughter, I would die 5 times over. Where would the blame be? On me! Yes me and my ex-wife for not instilling common sense into my girl! Teens do dumb stuff. I did more dumb stuff than I can imagine. My buddy and I were making an attempt at building fireworks when we were 15. Guess what, it blew up in our faces, literally! My best friend lost part of his hand. We were rewarded with going to the scared straight program for constructing an explosive device. Should we have sued the company that manufactured the black powder that we used? My buddy's father for not being home at the time? The company that made the steel pipe that we used? No! We as teens made a bad choice and lived to tell about it. This kid didn't! On that site that woman says "bad crossings kill good drivers," ***. If they cannot see well, stop, look, listen! Proceed when it is safe! O.K. I solved your problem, now you can sleep well at night! How about this one. I'm telling this story from memory, but, the facts are there. Two teenage girls decide to walk down the tracks on a RR trestle. Well they were hit and killed! Sad, but not the RR's fault. Guess what their families attorney used for their reason why the RR should be responsible. "It was a Tom Sawyer like setting," "the girls were enticed by the setting," You have got to be kidding me. What a bunch of ***. Finally I am offended by your liberal use of our Lord, God in your posts. I owe everything good in my life to the Lord. I don't appreciate you using God's name in your posts to add validity or an air of compassion to them. And by the way, I pray that my little girl has the sense not to do things that will put her in harm's way when I am not there to protect her. When a person does not respect a crossing and use common sense when approaching it is on them. The trains don't swerve off of the tracks and hit cars. The cars are placed there by the people that drive them! Hey Mike, have a nice day!
