Taking a nap on the tracks (Brazil)
Author: pedrop

A friend sent this pic today night. He was riding in Inspection Track car when he saw a drunk man taking a nap on the tracks. Even with the sound of the horns the man didn't wake up. He was lucky, because a train could not have time to stop fast as the inspection car did. What a world we live!

I was on the eastbound Sunset Limited many years ago and we hit an entire family sleeping on the tracks in the middle of the night. All killed.
Four hour delay to find the local cornor and get him to the scene.
