Fear Of Trespassing
I have never thought so much about how dangerous trains can really be. If you hear all the stories, they sound pretty bad. I also did not know that if you walk on tracks, you are trespassing. You could be fined for trespassing; quite a lot of money actually.

Many people get distracted by the small things, like listening to music, and talking with other friends. Other things that can prevent you from hearing the train is if you are on a motorcycle or any motorized vehicle. The sound of the vehicle will not let you hear the train at all. Many people die because of trespassing. People also die because they are in a rush. I do not have any patience, but if I knew my life could be in danger, I would definitely wait for the train to come. Since

    These are called Light Rail cars. In the Light Rail Car section in the Unit 5 Rail Road Crossing it states," Light Rail cars accelerate very quickly. A light rail car can accelerate to 55 miles per hour in just 19 seconds. Most light rail trains will operate at 55 miles per hour within the railroad corridor. Trains will operate at 25 miles per hour on the streets in Salt Lake City." Understand the light rail car, we should be extra aware of the signs and warning of rail road crossings. We should also not under estimate the speed of all trains. Good judgement as well is very important when crossing rail roads.

    During the ride, it was a bit controversial to take pictures even though cameras were allowed on deck. The train had very large windows with knobs curiously placed right in the middle, which got in the way of any pictures. We were allowed to lower or raise them to be more comfortable temperature-wise, as the cog is able to stabilize the enclosed space. Sometimes we’d see jagged rocks outside our window that looked like they were close enough to either pierce through the thick metal surrounding us or like they were ready to roll onto the tracks and block our…

    Railroad Safety

    When I think of railroads and trains, I am in awe. I love them so much. But with the love I have for them, it holds me to higher responsibilities. I know how dangerous they are and should not fool around them . That also includes no horsing around railroad crossings. Trains are going too fast and are too big to just stop suddenly. One of the videos talked about a train conductor and asked him about railroad crossing safety. He mentioned that he had actually taken a life because the person was not aware that there was a train coming at 45 miles per hour. To many accidents happen with trains and other vehicles for too many times that we can prevent. The guy mentioned that maybe if the person simply looked both ways to see the train, he would have never hit the vehicle and accidentally kill that person. What I noticed in the second video is that friends were there to help them make the right choices, usually the passenger or the friend leading the other one. It is good that the friend is their to help, but what will that person do when they are alone without the guidance and wisdom from their friends. They will become the one of many causalities that we could have prevented. We should all be the person that recognizes the dangers whether we be the driver or the passenger. Now when we cross railroads we should be wary of a trains presence and look for one whether the lights are shining or not. What if the power is not working? You could be dead or seriously injured. We need to make sure we can see not only in our direct vision but our peripheral vision as well. So if that means you have to become uncool for all of 5 seconds and take of your hood, then do it. It is not worth a life to be cool. You should be able to hear the train as well not just see it or the lights flashing but to hear the sound of the engine or horn. No song is that important to listen to, no beat is good enough then your life. 10 times out of 10, whenever a human being has challenged a train, they…

No clean clothes are available on the train because it will keep you behind, and forget about showering and brushing your teeth.

    The pain and suffering some aliens and immigrants suffer is just unbearable. Millions of undocumented immigrants, “Families are afraid to seek health care and cannot enroll their children in school. They cannot call the police if they are assaulted or raped…” (“Illegal Immigration”). Illegal immigrant’s worst fear is to be deported back to their native countries and the sacrifices they have to go through while crossing the border. For example, “crossing the Mexican border into the United States must often travel for miles across open desert, Hundreds die each year from exposure to the heat, as well as hunger and dehydration” (Illegal Immigration). Illegal immigrants are not granted the same rights or privileges as others. I believe that illegal…
