Teachable Moment: Railroad tracks are for trains, not pedestrians

PARIS (AP) – A train hit and killed three people and seriously injured another person in south-western France on Tuesday morning. A local mayor said the victims were thought to be migrants who were resting on the tracks.

The train was on a line that links the seaside resort town of Hendaye, on France’s border with Spain, and the city of Bordeaux, the national railway company SNCF said. The collision occurred at around 5:30 a.m., striking four people who were on the tracks, it said.

The victims were thought to be migrants “who were sleeping or were lying … on the railway line,” said Eneko Aldana-Douat, mayor of Ciboure, near the crash site.

He said it’s not unusual to see migrants in that region near the border.

They said he did not hear the weasel!

#4 Absent a convenient pile of cinder blocks, a railroad track is the next best thing.

While this may be a personal tragedy for the alleged victims, they can be consoled that their lives will serve as an example for others.
