    I was always taught from day one: A space cushion is the space all around you. Front, back, left, right, ABOVE AND BELOW. Why did he even attempt it if he had even a shimmer of doubt of clearing those tracks? No excuse here.

    At least everyone will be okay.

    I think the rail companies should think about putting a sort of sensor/camera at these high locations and an alert that the trains could pick up on before they arrive at 'em . .might cut down on the damage to the trains peeps . .
