People are so fucking stupid it is shocking. A few people a year are killed because they cross tracks thinking they can beat the train or they are just idiots. Don't try to beat the train, wait the 2 minutes it takes to go by (at most).

From the post:

>The Regional Transportation District is reminding people to never step on train tracks. In 2024, the agency recorded 399 trespassers on their commuter rail. This is a decrease from the 423 trespassers reported in 2023. The numbers are decreasing, but the agency would like to see them go down to zero. The most notable decrease was along the 23-mile A Line, which experienced a reduction of approximately 12% in trespasser incidents occurring between Denver Union Station and the Denver Airport Station. RTD says the improvements come from maintenance on the tracks and new signage reminding everyone not to cross them.

Freight trains are one of the last natural predators of humans on this planet, and so one of the very few things to enforce Darwin's natural laws. They are inflexible, unsympathetic, non-negotiable enforcers of the consequences of bad choices and immaturity. Relativism and "my truths" are rejected with prejudice with severe penalties for shenanigans. I wish we had more things like freight trains.

trains here take 20 to 30 minutes to pass by

For RTD its fast, they are lightrail and not very long.

There are some cities that have freight tracks that go through town, those do take a while to go by.
