You don't need a pedestrian gate if you pay attention. What will it take for gates? A death? I ask you! What will it take for people to pay attention to what's going on around them? A death? She learned the hard way. She doesn't need a gate anymore. She'll remember this lesson.

CSX should sue the woman for her carelessness and causing a situation that stopped the leagal transport of their freight in a timely manner, and caused financial liability for CSX by doing so... And if she has a problem with that, tell her to sue her city council and let them laugh at her...

If this woman hadn't been hit by the train she would have probably walked in front of a truck at the next red light in town. Some people are just tooooo stupid.

IMHO, the town should not be allowed to pass no-horn laws, unique to their town. The rules of the rail company should trump any local ordinances of a town that a train happens to run through. The horns should be sounded at any and all intersections that the engineer feels is appropriate. It should be his judgement call. He's in a better position to make that determination than anyone sitting on a city counsel.

There are local warning horns that have been used at crossings in quiet zones for at least a decade, which are loud enough to be heard in the immediate area, but not nearly as far away as the train's own horn. Why didn't they at least install those in this town?

Woman texting walks into a train on my birthday. Wow.

My great great grandmother was killed when a train ran her over. This was about 150 years ago, so there weren't all the bells and whistles (literally) that are available today. It was at dusk, she was walking in the middle of the track, and apparently didn't hear the train coming down the track. By the time the train stopped, it was already over for her.

no pedestrian gate? if someone can't pay attention to the bright red flashing lights then they don't need to breathe the air...natural selection at its finest.

If she couldn't hear the bell, see the flashers or see the gates coming down, what the hell makes you think she just wouldn''t have walked into it? You see idiots all the time, walking into the street texting, totally oblivious to anything else. Watch people coming out of stores,in a shopping center. They walk right out and never bother to see if a car is coming. And if you say anything to them, their answer is "people in crosswalk have right of wa" True, but the cross walk doesn't start at the door or in the middle of the parking lot.

If they don't hear the bell ringing, it's their own fault. Unless they are def.

You don't need pedestrian gates. We are gifted with eyes ears and brains. If you are unable to use them you have no place on the planet.

And this, gentlemen, is why we should not have quiet zones.

Not familiar with that exact intersection, but the sound from a neighboring jurisdiction doesn't respect arbitrary legal boundaries; moreover, trains on tracks that aren't even parallel to the identified crossing could be what you're hearing. What gets me is that idiot at 6:08 - 6:12, who should be proof sufficient that gates aren't a solution to stupidity.

When the gates lowered, the lights start flashing and the crossing bell starts ringing. When the gates are down, the lights keep flashing, but the bells stop ringing. Why? They need to put gates to block the sidewalks. They need to give parents and cell phone users, brains.

the train is an intermodal train that moves cars from local companies to the main line, those trains rarely get up above 10mph, It's not something you don't see coming...

In Australia we have gates to stop pedestrians from crossing but that's because we do have high speed trains going through if there is no station. The gates are right next to where the bell is in my town

Doesn't need pedestrian gates. Just needs smarter pedestrians. There are clear marker lights, bells when the gates go down, and you can HEAR THE TRAIN BELL. The woman got hit because she's stupid. As the saying goes, you can't fix stupid. In addition, a pedestrian gate isn't going to keep determined people from crossing the tracks. They'll go around the gate.

I was taught how to cross the street when I was 5 years old. If adults are too stupid to look both ways before crossing a live railroad track, then the species will be a little smarter after they kill themselves. We have to stop blaming other people for our mistakes. I'm sorry if that feels harsh, but I get blamed for other people's mistakes all the time and I'm sick of it.

And that was the loudest Amtrak engine I have ever heard.

The only time I saw a No train horn zone in person was in Atlanta, Georgia. When I was due to participate in an charity event, I was in elementary school in Savannah at the time and I got a small penny crushed by a train.

I literally hate quiet zones. For that very reason. Some of the idiots how complained of the train horns being to loud need to see this. And you are right they need to either remove the quiet zone or but up pedestrian gates.

Since there is a no horn ordinance, why don't the bells continue to ring after the gate is lowered (and not only while the gate is lowering)?

Although I'm not in favor of quiet zones, this accident can't not be blamed on the fact that it happened at a quiet zone crossing. According to the news report, the train did blow the horn (they said whistle but that's ok). The engineer of a train is still allowed to blow the horn in emergency situations. So the "victim" ignored the flashing lights, the ringing bell, and THE TRAIN HORN. If they had the pedestrian gates, maybe she would have walked into it and bumped her head.

I'm not in favor of quiet zones either but if the engineer is allowed to blow the horn in an emergency situation only, it may be too late. They can't stop short or steer away from something like a vehicle. The town of Lakeland should not allow ambulance, police cars, fire trucks out of fear of noise, an they might as well remove the gates from the crossing period.

They need to protect people? LOL People need to pay attention and pull their head out of their ass.

Even the rural area I live which has a population 10 times lower than that of Lakelands has crossings that block both the road and the sidewalk, yet Lakeland doesn’t? That’s really odd.

Man that is the best intro ever. Lol!

stop, look and listen those words are written in blood

Now you're telling me she didn't hear or feel the rumble? She didn't hear the emergency whistle? Buuuuullshit

Csx needs a crossing gate camera to see if someone is there and then text them

I like how they save the train conductor blew the whistle even though it's a diesel locomotive with a horn

So, it's everyone's fault except the ignoramus that walks in front of a train? Sorry sister, but you can not fix "stupid". And the fault is her own, nobody else.

looking at that system a extra gate wouldn't make a bit of difference as people are just going to walk around it or just duck under it. You would need a Metal fence running up to crossings and bigger gate that goes all the way to the floor as we have in the UK.

Very good video Alan. As you can probably guess by my screen name I'm a train nut. I worked in UP yard for almost twenty years intermodal freight and you wouldn't believe some of the things I saw truckers do in the yard. Among the hundreds one sticks out he parked his tractor on the track between two sections of train waiting for a container to be off loaded. Parked right on the rails like he was part of the train. You might want to checkout a video about Downer's Grove Il, a woman walking with her lawyer walked right across the tracks as train was sitting in the station and the express train came flying through her lawyer stopped unfortunately she did not ...the result a fatal accident.

What in the world could be more important on your phone than a locomotive coming at you.

And these trains are SO quiet too! Who can hear them coming. Unless they blow their horn, nobody even knows they exist! OR maybe debases should be more aware of their surroundings. It's natural selection at work!

The worst danger these days is joggers with headphones on so they don't hear approaching trains - or cars for that matter! A girl wearing earphones got hit by a train and killed at a crossing in our area even though people waiting on the other side called out a warning to her - she didn't hear them either.

I had guy with his headphones on, step right in front of my van just the other day. I laughed, he didn't. Luckily for him I was not going very fast. A scare for him, which should make sure he looks next time. I look both ways crossing roads regardless of whether it being a one way or not.
