I speculate a root cause is freight trains, and all the same abuses that prevent trains passenger rail from being useful. lack of infrastructure investment causing slowness, ever longer trains causing slowness, inadequate sidings causing blocked intersections, out of repair tracks causing slowness and signals cause long delays blocking intersections
Or at least I’ve never seen anyone do that nor know anyone who’d admit to it, but we only have commuter rail so there will be a train but the gates will be up in a minute. no reason to be impatient or do something stupid

Friend, I hope that leaves your head some time soon.
This should help. Talking about it helps.
Be good to yourself today.

This is similar to what they train Swedish train drivers to do if they are about to run someone over.
They are taught to close their eyes hard, cover their ears and scream as loud as possible.
This to distances themselves from the impact as much as possible

Yeah, it is grim, but on the railroad, the question isn’t IF you are going to kill someone, but rather, when.
So stuff like this is sadly needed.
Maybe the community should ask for a few bridges at town hall meeting. I bet everyone would be on board.
