Railway Idiot

A woman who was struck by a train is now suing the railroad for failing to post signs warning “of the dangers of walking near train tracks and that the tracks were actively in use.”

A Jeannette woman who was slightly injured after being struck by a train while walking along railroad tracks sued Norfolk Southern Corp. Thursday for failing to warn pedestrians that trains travel on tracks.
Patricia M. Frankhouser, of 910 Scott Ave., is seeking an unspecified amount in excess of $30,000 from the Norfolk, Va., rail transport company for the Jan. 6 incident that left her with a broken finger, cuts on her hand and pain, according to the suit.

I think the railroad should countersue the woman for failing to wear a placard warning passers-by that she is, in fact, a flaming idiot.
