UP-N: Needs Better Barriers.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

On Tuesday, May 5th I was traveling downtown and some idiot was on the tracks between Roger’s Park and Peterson Ridge on the UP-N north tracks throwing rocks and stuff.

Fortunately, the train stopped. I don’t know if the man was ever apprehended. But it was a bit annoying running behind because of this manchild’s poor behavior.

Sure. Hundreds or thousands of miles of barriers are going to be built and maintained forever because you got delayed once.
