This was a really tragic accident. I WANT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT! There were NO flashing lights what-so-ever near the tracks, AND there were trees right by the tracks. I know this because I live 2 miles away from the accident scene. This person that died was my BEST-FRIENDS step-dad. PLEASE HELP. JOIN MY GROUP ON FACEBOOK! Here is the group name: PWWTD

Pretty simple.. When you approach railroad tracks expect a train...When are people going to learn that you can win when you try to beat a train....STOP, LOOK and LISTEN AND LIVE... I hope the train crew is doing okay.
