Jump in the lake, jump off a building, overdose, shoot yourself, I don't care, but stop traumatizing train engineers & the people that see it.<br />I had nightmares for weeks!<br />Add to that that thousands have their lives fucked up for that day.<br />Ever since that crook Pagano did it, there's been a rash of this, almost one a week.<br />BTW, I'm guessing the train was doing 55- 60 MPH at that point. They get up to about 68, but it has to slow down for the curve north of the RP station. I've measured the time it takes for the train to go one mile, it's usually about 53 seconds at top speed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978194163495589398noreply@blogger.com
