Technology already provided a solution, since 1830: The cowcatcher or cattle catcher was mounted at the front of a locomotive to deflect obstacles on the track that might otherwise derail the train.
Sounds like a Mexican train. Pretty soon they be riding on top.
“6Homeless People on Tracks Slow California Trains”
I was hoping it was because they were run over.
Maybe they'll call it the slow boat from China.
(Note: there are three asterisks.)
Almost every day there’s another story reminding me what a blessing it was to leave the land of fruits and nuts over 20 years ago.
“Despite” billions.
They’ve been subsidizing it and are too stupid or dishonest to admit that.
I take Amtrak between Oakland and LA about three times a year. I haven’t noticed any systematic delays.
I had to ride Amtrak from Sacramento to Gilroy. The experience was actually very relaxing but I couldn’t believe all the bum camps along the tracks. If I was the engineer I would be laying on the horn every time I came up to these trash heaps. Even when they leave they don’t pick up after themselves.
Polluted beaches, fires, earthquakes, homeless de dictating in the streets, flash floods, now homeless on the railroad tracks, us there anything good in California?

Are the design plans and technology for cowcatchers completely lost?
Pavlov proved that you get more of the behavior that you reward.
Productive sensible conservative people immigrate out of California to make space for the homeless of the entire world.
I drove through skid row a couple weeks ago, I think All the Homeless should be moved into the Coliseum, All the tolerant progressive liberals at USC and the politicians will be real close, all the services they need are there and the Coliseum is run down anyway.
Just based on the title....
Sounds like California needs more powerful trains.
Finally an argument for 200 mph trains.

This can’t be helped. Homeless drug addicted vagrants are our new Sacred Cows.
Add old fashioned cow-catchers. Worked on the cows.
Why are they slowing down or stopping?
I thought Moonbeam wanted fast trains...
Put cow catchers on the front of the engines like the older engines had to brush aside unwanted obstructions.
