Tragedy In Princeton,Indiana {"Featuring the late Floyd B. Dill [1919-1996.]

This was the front page cover story back on January 16'1996 in my hometown of Princeton, Indiana in which a tragedy unfolded involving three High School teenagers whom i don't exactly remember their names or alias at this point in time, Because this video has had several copies made since the last few months. But" Three girls were basically either going to a High School Wrestling game "or" coming from it; According to my grandfather {"Who died at the end of this year sadly."} They were going to the high school "or" trying to locate it. Either way" Anytime tragedies like these occurs it involves one or several factors, But this really involves just two factors. Either they were not watching what they were doing while rossing the tracks "Or" the train failed to blow it's signals. Well" In this situation CSX was to fault, Because they carelessly failed to signal "And" i'm a witness to these incidents several occasions growing up here. But Floyd B. Dill my grandfather knew the railroad after working for them for over thirty something years before finally retiring in 1975 from hi's first heart attack. He survived about twenty five years aftrward but had heart problems and incidents off and on , And finally losing hi's battle on December 24' 1996. May he rest in peace. And those who comments better keep the content clean, Take it how you will but if you can't respect anything or anybody, At least" respect the dead. Speaking of the dead, There is a cross that was placed at the marked location where the girls where the incident occured , one lived ,the other two died.

Too many people are in a hurry these days. Gotta look for the signs and yield when approaching train tracks no matter how isolated it appears. Sad that three yungunns' had to pass on for me to make that point.

May they rest in peace in God's embrace.

@mydreamquest "Yeah, People think they cannot wait a few lousy minutes for a train to pass by. And rather the train sounded it's horn or not, I believe those girls just was'nt paying enough attention and then there you go, Boom! their dead.

"That could'nt be more than right at times. However' i believe i remember that tragedy about your friend in the paper. That is really a shame and i am very sorry. People sometimes suffer for man's stupidity.

This is my home town and one of my close friends was cross the train when it was stopped and the train didnt blow its horn or anything when it just started up and fast my friend tried to quickly finish crossing the it was to fast he lost his balance and the train caught his leg...Now cause the train didnt sound off my friend that loved being active no longer has the chance to see where he really could have gone.Thank God he still has his life...Those trains never pay attention

STOP LOOK and LISTEN. This is the drivers's manual for taking a driver's license test. Even with gates and lights people will still drive around them. Trains do 40mph through Princeton. Waiting 3 or 4 minutes won't kill you while cutting in front of a train very well may.
