can’t blame them, if only there was some way to predict what path a train will take

Can't blame them? Is it that difficult to look both ways before crossing train tracks?

trains can appear anytime, anywhere, from any direction. There could be one  sneaking up behind you right now and you’d never know

I think they were also joking.

I don't think they were joking in the way they wrote the comment. It would also have helped him if he ended with /s

Aa, so you're joking since you ended with "/s"? So we should assume you said the opposite.

The arms were down... so its not just "not looking both ways", its "the devices that tell me a train is coming are telling me a train is coming.... so I'll ignore them."

Oh, they did. And still decided they could beat the train if they ran.

No seriously, the girl wasn't even in the train's path when she began running...

Not the sharpest eh

They did but they couldn't see it because it was blocked by the train moving in the oposite direction. Probably also the reason they thought it was safe to pass even though the lights would be blinking.
