I think that instead of arguing about whether or not there should be a fence built, or whether or not she was a university student, everyone should be aware and acknowledge that there are people who knew and loved this person, including many of my friends. please give this argument up for now.

Build fences? You must be joking man. How about this proposal: grown mature adults stop walking and/or standing on train tracks. If someone ran onto I-95 and got hit by a car, it would be tragic, but we would be calling them an idiot. How is it any different here? If anything this is dumber, since a train's path is a LOT more predictable than a car. You really think that CSX should be responsible for our safety even though since we all could walk we have been told of the dangers or standing on or near railroad tracks?

The artile, "she doesn't think she is a University student." Well is she or isn't she. I don't think we will really find that one out.

I very strongly disagree Dan, I don't think building more fences everywhere is the answer. Post signs warning of danger, if people choose to ignore them then so be it. I'm sick of rights being taken away from me for the sake of my health or safety. I'd rather have my freedom

It's sad but why didn't she take 5 steps to the right and get off the track?

Walking along the tracks is illegal, building fences is seen as unnecessary since nothing but trains is allowed on them. There are guards over walkways that cross over the train, which is all they really need to do. Even if there was a fence, people would climb it.

What is it going to take to ask CSX to spend under $10,000 to just build a damn fence along the railway near the university???? With as many people walking around, and as many people that have died on the tracks (at least 1 per year) , IS IT THAT HARD??? To take that even further, why doesn't the University build a fence along university property to help protect lives of people who live, and work near these tracks. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN POWER POSITIONS? Is the solution that hard to see?
