We work to live, not live to work. Having compassion and empathy is not weak. Watch what you say because the universe has a funny way of bringing things back to you. Really sit and think about the nasty things you’re about to put out there. I hope this person rests in peace and all the hurt souls in here saying horrible things find light in their hearts. Spread kindness not hate.

@wesitos213 @wesitos213 This is the E line. I ride daily to work, and the last three days running, the driver has had to brake suddenly because men (homeless?) have been using the railroad bed as a walking path in that area. (Between the Jefferson & LATTC stops.) I feel bad for the driver, I can’t imagine how terrible it is to know you’ve hit & killed someone through no fault of your own.

I'm sure the train opera isn't and shouldn't be held accountable since it takes time to stop the weight/force of a train. It can't just stop on a dime. I feel for the conductor cause that's gotta be difficult knowing someone died while you were operating the train.

My husband is a freight locomotive engineer and it happens nearly everyday! They think they can dare TONNAGE. Nobody thinks about how hard it is emotionally on train crews.
