What will come at some time, as a claim from someone ---- because SOMEONE will WANT to do it sometime: (surprised it has not been of yet). As the original behavior being the Fault of who drives the Car:

These lines-of-cars, that are parked as EXTENDED lined-up traffic at the traffic-light,, when there is a red light. AS THE EXTENDED LINE OF CARS SURPASSES THE RAILROAD TRACKS.
Some of those cars choose o (completely) neutralize/park on the railroad tracks/platform,, as most 'stick-their-bumper-above the tracks. I remember in the past years, when parking directly over the railroad tracks/platform was far more common. THIS BE MORE A CONCERN, WHEN THOSE SUCH CAR DRIVERS ARE CHATTING ON THEIR CELL-PHONES, WHILE PARKING IN SUCH WAY ---- ON THE RED LIGHT.

They may have a claim there; usually pedestrians and rails are separated very carefully, often to extremes. But this looks as if the trolley tracks and the main rails don't have the usual fence or wall because of the street crossing. Yet, there are no signals between the two sets of tracks at all. That is not the typical situation. At the Santa Fe depot and in Old Town, people are not allowed to just walk across the rails with no barrier or warning device. Both of those locations have train stops and trolley stops where the two are kept separate--to an annoying degree. But they keep many pedestrians off the tracks used by Amtrak, the Coaster, and freights.

This is a tragic story. Nobody should have to witness the death of a loved one being struck by a speeding train. Horrible.

Be it that an MTS Security Guard choose a topic/comment to debate to you, WATCH HOW CLOSE SUCH SECURITY WILL WALK UP TO YOU. I had 1 who came closer than 2 1/2 feet -- as we were only giving comments to each other. This was no citing nor legal situation.

,As he never chose to back off, the distance that he came to me..

They will get a lot of money out of this. Will the train engineer get a ticket for speeding? (" . . . struck and killed by a speeding Amtrak train . . ") Was the train speeding? It does seem stupid to let passengers off the trolley when a fast moving, albeit legally, train is due.

With all due respect, how can you not see and hear the train coming. Even without the bars to keep you from crossing a train track, you know when a train is coming. If he illegally crossed and darted out from behind a wall, he shouldn't get any money. It is stupid to let passengers off the trolley when a fast moving train is due, but nobody forced him to cross illegally.

Danger on the rails and in libraries. For both the MTS and city libraries the solution to being seated next to a sick patron who is coughing with wheezing lung's sound is for you to leave the trolley or bus or library.

Now, news is coming that 1 is "hit by the COASTER." As the news is still to come in.

(cont about my 11/12 comment of MTS security guards): Now their having further face-coverage, far more head skin is concealed. BUT THEY won't sacrifice their adoring of that close-up walk-up distance, in comparison to earlier time.
No matter how legit a behavioral, how paying a MTS passenger anyone is.

Are they trying to prove how much they love their job?~
