A CP guy got killed yesterday in St Paul yard (site of the St Valentines Day massacre 20 years ago.) I know nothing beyond that.

You work for Canadian Something or another. You expect us to believe you? You are supposed to know about these tragedies.
Guess we'll have to move on and ask a real Canadian since you've gone all Ted Druz on us.

A man sitting on the railroad tracks just waits for you to put him out of his misery.
Many lives end that simply and its always the plan of the person who gets hit.
Train tracks and trains go way back and its sort of a "for sure" way out for a troubled
incarnation...and maybe you never have died that way and just want to experience it.

In Snippy's experience, they were city slicker hunters who had gotten up way too early -- way before their city slicker get up time -- to go hunting in the swamps of The Styx. The tracks were the best way in and best place to watch for Bambi. They got there before daylight, sat down, fell asleep... The rest is the end of their history on Terra Firma.

When it's your time, time's up.
Simple. Krink has extrapolated on this theory many timez.
If it's not your time, wacky things happen and you live on.
Abeit, altered to a painful existence maybe.

I don't know if my esplanations for people waiting for you to run over eases your mind/belief system.
Maybe if considered more...you can put these kind of events into a different perspective that you
can live with.
