Around here, the high school makes announcements and sends home notes, warning students and parents about the dangers of taking senior photos on railroad tracks. Still, there are photos of seniors, on the tracks, in the yearbook.
It seems to me that both the photographer and the subject involved in these deaths, lack common sense. There is someone facing both directions. How can they not see them coming? When I was a kid, my brother and I used to walk down the tracks several time a week. We would go fishing and by walking a mile or so down the tracks, we would shorten our walk by 2 miles. Many times, we encountered trains. We always got off the tracks and waited well away, for the train to pass. I still have several coins flattened by passing trains.

Don't mind that soulless POS. He has never experienced empathy. I bet he has never experienced any form of feelings except for anger, like every other sociopath.

I read several pages devoted to this post before coming back to page 1 and posting this. I worked on the old Chicago & Northwestern out of the Proviso Yards for 3 years back in the early 70's. I always had a camera with me and took lots and lots of pictures, but every last one of them was off to the side of the tracks. I don't see why anyone would get in between the rails. One of my favorite setups for a shot of a train passing at speed was to set up the tripod close to the ground and get an oblique view looking upwards, I'd click the shutter when the viewfinder was full and usually ended up with a great-looking photo. Since I was well off to the side, I was in no danger and the train crew wasn't alarmed by my presence there. At least one of the posters talked about how long it takes a train moving at speed to stop, and he wasn't exaggerating. When some idiot appears in the middle of the tracks, all the engineer can do is dynamite the brakes, i.e. throw the lever into emergency so that all the air brakes on every car and all the locomotives in the consist are set instantaneously. Momentum caused by the tremendous weight of the train will make it simply slide along the rails with every brake locked for up to a mile before it finally comes to a halt. Weight and speed determines how far it will actually slide, but they all do, and the idiot will be mowed down regardless.

It certainly did not show since the woman was doing a 'modeling shoot'. It was discovered during the autopsy. So a few cells at this point not a fetus so not a person. The 'additional information' is sensationalism, nothing else. 'Oh! she was pregnant!'.
It makes no difference.

HOT.... You may remember this story from just a few years ago. My daughter graduated from Texas School for the Deaf. A girl who lived in Austin and also went to TSD would walk train tracks to get to her mother's work because it was a short cut. She always thought she could "feel" when a train was coming.....until the day she didn't.

It never fails to amaze me how some people act on the forums…so ugly and so ill mannered.
She lost a child and her life it makes a difference no mater what stage it was in.

But it does, Ron. Life had begun.
All of us as parents celebrated when we learned that we were "expecting." We didn't treat our baby as a fetus until it was born. It was our baby from the time we learned that he or she was on the way.

OMG I do remember that, but the only reason I do is because I used to teach deaf kids how to speak in special education classes, it kind of hit home.
