Teens killed on Railway bridge
Don't know if you good folks over there have this problem. Seems that here in the US many people can't get it through their head that the railroad is private property and insist on using the tracks as a walkway. Alas, this seems to happen all too often. I've never worked for the railroad but know many who have. My thoughts and prayers go out not only to the families of those killed but to the crew on the train who I know will suffer for the rest of their lives with the memories of this accident. It's made worse by many in the public who blame the railroad and the train crew for the tragedy
Not a good way to start my Sunday morning reading about young lives cut short.
