Charlie - I am not sure what you can do.
On one hand, people should almost have a right to be stupid. But I hate to see the engineers and the railroad have to deal with killing someone. I work next to the light rail here in phoenix, and I see scores of people jaywalk across the tracks every day. These are usually businessmen with phones glued to their ear, and will stop on the tracks and wait for traffic to clear in the other direction. And most of the jaywalking I see occurs within 100 feet of a crosswalk
. Someday, someone will get hit and killed because they are paying more attention to the cars and their phone call and will step right in front of the train. And then the operator will have to live with the fact they killed somebody. Sad.
