[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by clinchfieldfan Its nice to be wanted somewhere! I work in a rural county as a detective for a state police department, I worked as a trooper for twelve years previous to that. We work closely with CSX and NS railroad police on their theft cases. As to tresspassing on RR property the RR police don't seem to be very concerned with that sort of thing in this area, it mostly an urban thing. Most RR accidents occur at crossings in this area, usually a automobile or farm tractors. I have investigated one case where a subject committed suicide by train. (boy I could think of better ways) People have no consideration for anyone else, the train crew on that engine was really traumatized. Although I did get some good train pictures that day. If everyone would slow down in life and have a little consideration for their fellow humans boy life would be nice. [/quote] I "feel" for any railroader who is in the cab when they hit a car or someone walking on the tracks. Years ago before the UP SP merger there was an Sp (SSW) train that left Pine Bluff southbound. Just out of Pine Bluff they hit a car. The engineer was so shaken up that they had to call in another engineer and the first went home. Now get this. The train (after all the legal stuff) continued on its way. After about an hour the same train but different engineer hit another car. Wow, you talk about bad luck.
