Just put old school cow catchers on the front of the trains. Push the wreckage aside and carry on so the city doesn't grind to a halt because of one, or today, two idiots.
I just can't fathom how this happens. Obviously people run "regular" red lights all of the time due to inattention, which is bad enough. But throw in some lights and bells and there really is no excuse. You could put up crossing arms, but people would find a way to screw that up too.
Edit: But, of course, I'll retract my idiot accusation of the second driver if the signals were in fact not functioning. Only partially though. Wouldn't the light have been red anyway?
