Train "Barreling" Towards SUV (Poor Reporting)
Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2023 7:15 pm
Here, once again, a railroad is villainized and the danger level is clearly exaggerated. No wonder people are fed up with news sites that sensationalize stories and post "Click Bait" headlines.
The headline is Good Samaritans jump into action as train barrels toward SUV on tracks. The CSX train is street running and might be moving at 5 mph and was in the process of slowing down and even stopped before the collision point (although she had her vehicle off the tracks by then). Some of the comments at the bottom point this out (at least Fox News still allows regular people to comment).
I empathize with the woman for being scared and props to the men who jumped in and helped her get her vehicle off the tracks. But the headline is misleading and the editors/writers have no credibility.
