Did you even read the story?? Doesn't matter if he was behind the yellow line, if you get pushed into an on coming train, and aren't expecting it, you are most likely going to fall into it as you are off balance.

Read the story? I was driving another train near Whitehorn when it was announced over the radio that there was a fatality. An instant '$$$$' sign went off in my head for the OT I was about to make. Every so often or so there is some crackhead or drunk getting hit. So another small time Pot dealer dies. Am I to shed a tear?
If everyone followed the rules there would be no fatalities near c-trains. It is not a matter of `if` but `when` it will happen to a c-train driver and everytime it is ruled as 'non-preventable' by CT's own investigation thus clearing the driver. Some drivers go on stress leave (some never return and opt to drive Bus). Others are back at work the very next day. It is just the hassle of filling out paperwork in the form of reports that we don't like. How can a c-train driver be at fault when people are openly not following rules of the road and the rails?
