ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[ijmorlan]

The best way to fix and put and end to the "walking by the rail tracks" debate is high speed railway. People used to walk by the rails in Germany and there were a large number of un-signalled level crossings. Most of those are gone now, since HST trains (and cars in the autobahn) at > 240Km/h seem to move in heartbeats: you first see it in the distance, hearbeat, look again and it's right behind you, hearbeat, and its way in front of you.

Let me just put it on the record that I am opposed to trespassing anywhere near HSR tracks!
