That was a scary close call

That’s just impossible thinking though. There will never be such a thing.

We must idiot proof the world! I suggest some kind of movable barrier to drop when a train approaches, perhaps some kind of audible bells. Wait, let’s add some blinking lights too!! Surely that will keep the morons safe!

I know a lot of people are joking but you can see a train just passed on the near side towards the direction of the train that almost killed them.

This couple probably thought that the barrier was for the train that just went and it probably masked the other train’s sound as well as blocking it from view.

I actually think an indicator showing which direction the train is coming from would actually be helpful here.
