I call it the Aggressive Social Safety plan!

Do we understand the real reasons why we as a society are having trouble with train safety? Is it the prevalence of social media and our lack of ability to ignore our phones or music or newspaper or whatever? That we so immersed in our little worlds that we continiously ignore the real world to our own detriment?

No!

Is it 'Big Train's' crippling social agenda to brainwash us into eventually living on trains like that movie Snowpiercer? Great film by the way, I highly recommend it.

No! Although I am wary of the train Cartel!

The real issue is that we as a society have made trains too safe!

Yes friends, we have over-safeified trains! Over-safeified is not a word. Yet. But it is now!

We take trains for granted, they are so predicable, generally slow and harmless appearing that we have lost all respect for them and their power. And right now friends, the trains are winning.

So here is Locke's patented Aggressive Social Safety plan! Yes. ASS Plan for short.

We need to respect trains again, and the only way to do that quickly and stop the train-induced bloodshed is through fear!

We have to fear trains again as the mighty metal murder monsters that they truly are!

We've got to paint them aggressively, like fighter planes! Get the teeth and the claws and the angry eyes in there! Get some flames on the side, have them all painted red and black, make them mean looking!

And then every time someone is killed by a train we have to put a stick-man beside the doors on every car like a fighter plane's kills! So when people get on they realize that this train is a killer!

"Oh man, this train has 3 kills, I'd better be paying attention or its going to get me too!"

We can give train drivers cool call-signs and have a scoreboard at every station!

"Oh no! The next train is RailSlaughter's train! That guy is a maniac, he was last year's champ! I'd better have my crap together around this lunatic!"

Problem. Solved.

You're welcome.

Heh. Could also try outfitting the cars with those old school "cow catchers'.
