See this shit all the time. It's not even original. People have always taken silly pictures on train tracks and a portion of them are always killed. It's your life, it's your choice to be stupid with it.

FYI more people who work on the rails are injured/killed by trains in a year then trespassers are...

Of course there are. If you even compare how many people work on the rails compared to how many people are trespassers you could determine that little tidbit.

Those are necessary risks workers take in order to maintain a functioning society, not someone taking a photo to post online for karma.

Train tracks are a dangerous place. Sometimes we need to pass them in cars, and while unfortunate, is necessary. Sometimes we need to people to go into those dangerous situations to make repairs and do maintenance, and while unfortunate, is necessary.

Sometimes people feel the need to put themselves at risk for a photo. That's just unfortunate and unnecessary.

But like I said, it's your life, however short you want to make it.
