So now are we going to cry to defund the train??
@trains fault Stfu and sit in the corner… dumb A$$
That train should have de-escalated the situation by going around the pedestrian. This situation was completely preventable….
All that aside, I pray for the crew of that train who have to live with that person’s stupid decision…
The person that got hit by the train was an elder woman ! Not stupid at all , actually one of the best , strongest , most giving people you will ever meet it was an accident ! So please keep your comments to yourself if you don’t know the family and the story behind it .
Rest In Peace Linda Barnes aka Granny ?? you are so loved and kissed and we will forever keep your spirit alive ???
Was this woman waking on the tracks and didn’t hear the train? What happened?
All well and good. But why was she on the tracks? And HOW could she not know A TRAIN was approaching? Those things aren’t exactly silent. Here’s a thought…stay OFF the damned tracks! That train did not go rogue and seek her out
There could be many different factors. She could be deaf, wearing headphones or even mental issues. Perhaps simply crossing the tracts to get to the waterfront. Bottom line here is someone has lost life. Sorry for your loss Caitlin. May she rest well.
…or perhaps she tripped and fell hitting her head.
Too bad for her. However, anyone with an ounce of common sense can avoid being hit by a train, unless it’s a deliberate act. Sad, but true. My sympathy lies with the train operator, however. Deaf? Open your eyes! Headphones? Darwin award. Mental issues? Poor train operator
Linda Barnes was a good neighbor of mine for a few years at Delta View Apartments Linda Barnes was a heart of gold she would take her shirt off her back for u she was a sweet loving lady all my prayers and thoughts go out to the family and her grandchildren R.I.P. Grammy you will be missed by many ????????
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family granny was a kind woman with a heart of gold she is at peace now rest well granny
Linda was my dear friend and neighbor. I’ve never met a person with a bigger, kinder, giving heart than her. Linda loved to collect berries by the train tracks. She’d make pies, desserts, what have you, and give them to her friends and neighbors. The day that this happened, Linda did her last, kindest act. She tried to save her little dog and sidekick, Bo. Giving her life to save another is part of who she was. She always believed in the best of everyone and I know it would hurt her heart to make the train driver or anyone else feel bad about her passing. Linda was an amazing gal and deserves only the best thoughts concerning her passing.
