It's a great article, given the usual low bar we've learned to set for a rail story in the El Segundo Advertiser(former LA Times).
These "facts" about RR trespasser deaths that she's laid out, even call into question Mouse's vast conspiracy, by "evil" SMART, where "evil Thomas" is lurking, waiting, cunningly stocking his victims, and running amok on SMART, slaying his poor innocent victims at will.
This is actually some pretty accurate balanced reporting on the actual causes of these fatalities, including things like the suicide epidemic on Caltrain, and more recently at SMART.
She's not your typical Laura or Ralph. She's seems to have done her homework pretty well. This is an accurate picture of these unnecessary tragedies, from all angles, even the folks who have to deal with it, including those rails who are forced to witness it.
