The cynic in me says that the railroads PR people said hurry up and pay everyone in sight so that nobody starts making noise about us using these tracks in a residential area to carry massive amounts of explosives.

Pshaw, I say.

If anyone is to blame, it is the deceased. By the details in that story, it sounds clearly like a case of falling asleep at the wheel. I don't know what the mystery is. A lady, who works multiple jobs, leaves for home at 1 AM, looking tired by witness accounts. Next thing you know, she's rammed a train, which causes the whole fiasco. I really don't see why people are talking about suicide or anything similar. The lady passed out while driving, and BAM! Oh, now she's awake.

If there's any blame, it's hers for making the bad judgement call for trying to go home while so exhausted. No, this doesn't mean she left that house thinking, "I have rage, so I'm going to drive home tired, fall asleep on the road, and cause a huge train wreck." No, she couldn't forsee the results, as could noone else that night. Most people I know can recognize a train from a distance and avoid hitting it, so the lady must have not been aware that it was there, i.e., asleep.

This poor woman has already paid as much as she can for this mistake. The rest has to lay on other shoulders, because she's dead, and there's nothing else she can do.
