Isn’t this the 2nd incident on that area of tracks? I use to work at company that is in front of those tracks. From what I’ve read on riverbank contract, that company is responsible for proper signals etc for those tracks. The company told employees they are responsible for that part of tracks and would have us employees clean out there and tell homeless people to leave
