Modeling the Cleveland and Pittsburgh during the PennCentral era starting on the Cleveland lakefront and ending in Mingo junction
Don't you know that trains swerve just to kill people and hit cars & trucks? Seriously, your headline makes you sound like the kind that would attempt to rob a building, get caught, and then blame the building owner for having a window that you could climb through.
i consider your headline abusive, and will ask that this posting be removed unless you edit it. amtrak did not kill. these people died because of their own illegal, dangerous, and foolhardy actions. a proper headline is three tespassers died and one injured when an amtrak train arrive unexpectadly -- or something like that.
please put the blame where it belongs
They were taking photographs on one of the bridges close to Refugio. Of the four people on the bridge two got run over and were critically hurt, one was knocked clear into the side of a hill and was killed, one was able to get off the bridge before being struck.
Additional information: SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. — Several of the people struck by a train on the Southern California coast over the weekend were visiting scholars at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
One woman was killed and two others injured Saturday when they were caught on a bridge overlooking to the Pacific Ocean as the Amtrak train bore down. A man was able to make it to safety.
KEYT-TV reported Monday (http://bit.ly/1sJKpV0) that a university spokesman confirmed three of the four were visiting scholars.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's department did not release any names, but the station said the department confirmed it was working with officials from the Chinese government.
The accident happened around sunset near Vista Point, a popular spot to take photos off Highway 101.
So, apparently, the people involved were from China, and were, perhaps, unfamiliar with American rules and customs, not to mention dangers.
