Still boggles mind how any sober person can get hit by a train. Not like they swerve to hit you.
Tlguy, Zim has spent many hours over the years doing survey work on railroad tracks (which nowadays they cannot even do without special training). It happens often that you can be facing away from a train with the right wind direction and cannot hear a thing when one approaches. It's pretty unsettling. I know a guy who got his leg chopped off doing just that. Never heard it coming and assumed he would. Getting hit generally happens to people who are walking
along the tracks not crossing directly (in which case they would look both ways and go).
