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.
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.

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.
