Okay,,,,I'd better explain what you could not see in the pic's, as not to start a pissing match. We were working in a railroad switching yard, splicing in a fiber network replacing the copper one for the railroad. They use the remote control locomotives to switch the rail cars around to the appropriate track. Control of the locomotives is done from a tower in the switching yard, thus not needing an engineer. You have a switch man with a radio in contact with the tower, riding the rail cars to disconnect or connect the rail cars and to switch the tracks. Hence the name "switch yard". There are no public road crossings inside the switch yard and the remote control locomotives do not leave the switch yard. So,,,the only people that are going to get maimed or killed would be someone that is not supposed to be there, taggers, tweekers, gangbangers or gangsters and what have you.
I hope that explains it in black and white. So,,in the future as not to confuse you or lead you astray, I will refrain from posting pic's without the proper explanation of what is being displayed.
