    Romero saw a slow-moving freight train and drove around the gates to try to beat it. A police report said Romero was ‘oblivious’ to the fact that a much faster Brightline train was approaching from the other direction.

    I wouldn’t say a lack of safety guards nor the train itself is to blame in this instance.

      Nope, the issue 99.99% of the time is, and will always be, stupid entitled assholes.

      Thankfully its a self correcting problem, since their population will slowly diminish and, perhaps with luck, one day go extinct.

      Yeah, seriously, what a moron.

      But I guess in the article most deaths are from pedestrians crossing the tracks in areas away from street/pedestrian crossings. Still not necessarily a smart move, but I guess people are not realizing how fast the high speed rail trains go vs regular trains.
