Seems like they ought have drop-down gates (AKA smashboards) at all crossings where 150 mph trains fly by.
150 mph is not something you can react to quickly enough.
People are used to 50 mph trains, but not 150 mph.
There will be more of these accidents until all the 150 mph crossings have gates.
I know it’s normal not to click links around here, but if you read the excerpt, they were just on the tracks, there was no gate/crossroad. They weren’t stuck..
