Mr. Gillespie is a conductor. I’m also thinking that a reporter used the word “driven” as that term in not widely used on the railroad. I also heard from the railroad pipeline that the person in the wheel chair tried to beat the train and it was way too late to get the train stopped. I agree with you, Valley, I’d love to go 31 years without ever having run over someone or hit a car, but I’ve got a very long way to go!
The tracks that run through Muncie are on the south side of downtown where there is mostly closed down factories and warehouses. I don’t see all that many pedestrians or motorists as I go by. Most motorists use the underpass to avoid waiting at the gates,w hich is fine by me because that’s a lot less cars I have worry about slamming into!
