RULE K REVIEW SESSION. The plaintiff is lucky to be able to file suit.
A Jeannette [Penn.] woman who was slightly injured after being struck by a train while walking along railroad tracks sued Norfolk Southern Corp. Thursday for failing to warn pedestrians that trains travel on tracks.
King of Fools notes, correctly,
I'm amazed that she was hit by a train and sustained such minimal damages. Perhaps Norfolk Southern Corp. could argue that the claims are fraudulent using
evidence from prior human-train interactions.
(Hat tip: Outside the Beltway). To repeat, as, sadly, I must,
Anyone who must cross railroad tracks as part of a daily routine ought to be familiar with the advice offered by Operation Lifesaver. Walk in front of a train? It won't hurt for long.
And, although cops have been known to ask train crews about taking "evasive action," there is a reason it is called a rail road.
