We had the same problem when Metrolink started up. Until the people learn that a train can come by at any time, there will be deaths. Even after all the time that Metrolink has been operating, they still are killing trespassers. California has a lot of train deaths. And Synonymous, if any train had the capacity to stop on a dime, I would not want to be in it. The pile of bodies inside would be bad enough.

And what does the freight operation have to do with this recent death?

My suggestion would be to paint a human figure on the side of the train that does the dirty deed, just like we do on compact planes in war.
