Bad day for BNSF train crews at Monroe WA and Seattle WA
Permalink  
 


Turned on my bedside radio early Tuesday morning to "the news" and laying there half asleep

there not one but two stories about BNSF freight trains in fatality collisions with pedestrians roughly

the same time in the morning 5:45-6:00AM. Completely unrelated other than it happened during a New Moon.

The BNSF train that kilt a pedestrian in Monroe took a while to find the pedestrian as he was knocked into

the river below. Then like at the same time a old-guy pedestrian decided to cross the tracks in Seattle

at South Portal tunnel entrance and was hit and kilt. That screwed up many AMTK and Sounder trains

from operating and then cancelled for the day.

That's tu bad. 

Darwin's law and celestial forces.

Life is like that, nowhere as much as on the rails.

Death shows up, inconveniently and horrifying.
