In China they have the bullet, a train that goes about 200MPH and it's covered by everything including armed guards and it's their favorite place to commit Harry~Cary, in fact if you look online and Google Suicide China, It's in the news today the numbers are increasing and I'm starting to wonder if the wars end will bring peace to anyone if we continue to adopt the course we have already seen bring us video when the E woks really seem to be dying to kill themselves to get to work more? dygi?pm1

May sound a bit redundant, and is an expensive option, but the railroad and city should consider jointly paying for and putting up a bar type, 8ft. tall fence on both sides of the rail line. CSX recently did this in Tampa, FL along 2 miles of a busy zone and it has been effective. May be expensive but cheaper than the Union Pacific getting dragged into a frivolous lawsuit everytime a trespasser gets whacked by a locomotive.

This Guy over there talkin is rite, but I live in Elk Grove and Im always goin places like to go meet with some friends or something and I pass those rail road tracks behind them all the time, the olny reason the guy got ran over is because he was texting on his phone, and listening to his Ipod at the same time, I should Know everyone in elk grove was talking about it. At least im smart enough to look both ways and put things away that get me distracted easily when I pass there.

When is society going to learn that we can't keep trying to protect stupid people from harming themselves. We save them today so they can just again put themselves in harms way tommorow. What a burden to those who live their freedom responsibly and have to pay increasingly high taxes for this matter.

[galvenizedsteel]

if you are stupid enough to on the tracks, you are stupid enough to die. some idiot dying is NOT A TRAGEDY...just another reason for them to go after railfans. damn copper whoppers.

[Cand0002]

If I were an engineer going through a town like that if I see anyone on the tracks i will blow the Horn so that people will know that my train is going through

[rosenrotsonne]

Sounds like they need to get rid of the quite zone, and start blowing the whistle again to warn people that the train is coming.

[conrailbuff]

put a fuckin fence up separating the tracks from the public. thats what they do over here on the east coast.

I know this is an old vid, so hopefully they did something to fix this problem.

So why doesn't Elk Grove or Union Pacific build a overhead walkway for the kids to use while crossing those tracks instead of resorting to enforcement actions? That's what Europe has done in many locations. Enforcement directed at kids, or shifting the responsibility onto kids, just seems like an inexpensive (cheap) way for Elk Grove and Union Pacific to avoid the real issue - a safe crossing is obviously needed at that location.

hahaha my dad did that ride hahahaha I live 10 mins away from those tracks. Woot Go EGPD WEll SSPD haha i go too that schoool well did now im in HIgh school

[lorielovesdwain]

Ok here is the problem !! You can ticket for a few days but when you are not there they will be right back taking the short cut !! this is a fact !!! its like a highway ! you see the police just lay some tickets for a few days and that clears up the problem !! No ! they are out there everyday ! thats why the railways need to take responsibility and increase their officers and also get state funding to retrict access to the tracks aswell as education education education then enforcement

[Mastercheif35]

Yeah, But see Elk Grove is a bunch of tards Thats why my dad went back Too Sac Sherris Because Those mother fuckers didnt Do anything. for those of u that are wondering my Dad was The Officer hit on the EG BMW motor in the year of 05. So i know alot of the shit that these dumb asses do lol... They are infact COMPLETE DUMB ASSE'S I mean some of them are my dads freinds and there great some are complete idiots and watch a guy run a red light and dont do shit.

[totallygonegearhead]

The city of Elk Grove has a noise ordinance against a vital warning system installed on a train? That's just insanity.
