Tragedy Can Strike

3-07-2012

I am posting the second of two pictures I took a month ago of a sunset between two hopper cars.

 

Tragically we have lost four people in train accidents the last couple of weeks. Yesterday a semi-truck ran into a train in small town close to here and the driver was killed. Three days ago a 61 year old man walked under a crossbar to save a few seconds. He didn't realize a train was coming from the opposite direction and he stepped in front of it. The week before a man was crossing a railroad bridge spanning the Red River in Fargo and was hit. The week before a 24 year old musician was found along side the tracks, he had fallen from a freight train he was riding.

 

Caution and common sense has to be used when ever you are dealing with a train, they are dangerous.
