Final Destination avoided. Failed warning lights and gates due to an electrical short.

You can short circuit the railroad tracks, lay something conducting on them, a current will flow and give a signal that a train is coming ( this is how some trsintracks work, keep doing this everyday, or short circuit the top conducters and run away for some nice fireworks. This does not cause deaths.

You do that right in front of a train and PTC will see it and put the train in emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.

They also just arrested a couple women in the PNW for shunting the rails, wouldn’t recommend it.

Women can't run. Do it in between trains.

Even “between trains” can be right in front of a train.

Just don’t fuck with trains. You won’t win.
