Photography and Train Tracks Don't Mix

Another senseless death, a 19 year struck and killed by a train while modeling on a train track. Senseless, and illegal!

There's a simple fix for this problem: It's called "LOOK!"
There is a much better fix: It's called don't take photographs on active train tracks. Not only is it dangerous but in most places it is illegal to even be on the railroad right of way.

Somebody damn well has to accept responsibility?

Photographers should be charged with reckless endangerment, criminal trespassing, gross negligence, and mandatory fines and prison time.

The responsibility rests solely on the dumbass standing on the tracks. Trust me a train can't sneak up on you.

Modern locomotives are much quieter these days. Some character walking on the tracks with his ear buds in or texting is a sitting duck. Active train tracks are out of bounds, period.

But without these people there would no Darwin awards and posing on train tracks isn't even extreme for the awards.

Unfortunately today there is a huge culture out there, where nobody accepts personal responsibility for anything.
Prime example: Angel Adams has 15 kids by three fathers, no job, no husband. She appeared on a video saying: "Somebody needs to pay"

How about having the three fathers pay.
The father of 10 of them, Garry Brown, was sentenced to five years for a cocaine conviction.
