Safe or not, crossing tracks in Del Mar isn't trespassing
Written like a resident of El Cajon....take a drive down to 11th street any day of the week. You'll see many other "stupid" people like me crossing the tracks. Those long things they're carrying are surfboards. We need the ocean to use them so we cross the tracks. This has been going on for 50 years and not one surfer has ever died. Gee, I wonder why? And, as I said, not everyone who's hit by a train is committing suicide, just 99% of them. You really should educate yourself about this issue instead of swallowing the NCTD press release garbage.— January 25, 2020 6:53 a.m.
Safe or not, crossing tracks in Del Mar isn't trespassing
I've been walking and running on the bluffs since I moved here in the 80's. It's not dangerous as long as you're not drunk, high or mentally ill. What NCTD fails to mention in all their presentations is that 99% of the deaths by train are suicides. There have been other cases of people hit while trying to save their unleashed dogs. But that's just Darwin in action. Crossing the tracks to get to the beach is completely safe. Trains can be seen and heard from far away. All of this conversation about deaths is just because NCTD has no solution to the suicides. Do you really think people intent on harming themselves won't find a way to get on the tracks?— January 23, 2020 5:43 a.m.
