Another tragic mistake.

I was almost witness to the same exact thing with a train I was working on in Indianapolis. I had to set off the rear Kansas City block of my train east of the yard. My train had to pull ahead over a busy road crossing. With it being rush hour I knew people would be impatient, so as soon as I stopped the train to make the cut I sent the engineer ahead again to clear the crossing and then I would walk back to tie handbrakes. Just as my train was about to move I see this guy sliding his bike under a box car on the crossing and then himself after I had told my engineer I was in the clear. Luckily, someone above was watching out for this idiot because my train went into emergency for an unkown reason. I just don't understand how time can be that important to people where they'd be willing to risk their lives or the lives of others for a few minutes. [V][xx(]
