You will never hear a train if you're on track. You need to see him to realize you are in danger. And if the track is in a curve, you won't see him till its too late.

4 Year Old Girl Killed By Go Train

Never walk on the tracks.
Completely disagree...grew up near go train/via rail line and would walk home from school almost everyday on the tracks with friends as it was a shortcut, we also spent most our free time in a wooded area as kids that the train tracks ran through and would use it as shortcut to go from one area of the woods to another. The trains make plenty of noise and the tracks start to vibrate well before the train even appears in sight. Your video is anecdotal showing some gen z kids who grew up in the ''playdate' and helicopter parents era, You can also find plenty of videos of people walking into traffic while they stare at there phone, doesn't mean the cars don't make noise.
Was your house built in the middle of the tracks?
You don't know what you're talking about.
When you're on the tracks, you won't hear the trains coming at you. Not till the train is about 2 seconds away. Same with vibrations.
You think you know what you're talking about, but you don't. You're confusing being lateral with the track to being on the track. Two very different things.
I explain how I basically spent my entire childhood being on the tracks, you respond with "You don't know what you're talking about". Ok buddy.
Cause you dont
You keep thinking because you can hear a train in the distance, at a location adjacent to the track, that you can hear a train coming down the track if you are on the track.
It's not the same thing from a physics point of view.
I said previously that the sound of a train eminates laterally from the train. (lateral means sideways or on a diagonal FYI). In addition, sound from the locomotive eminates straight up into the sky from the exhaust manifolds.
When you're on the tracks, you are in line with the train and there is nothing to hear because there is no sound coming at you. You will have 2 seconds before you are hit and this has been shown through scientific experiments.
How many years ago were you a kid? They don't use steam engines any more buddy.
To all those people who think you can hear a train on the tracks and you will have time to react and get out the way, you will not. With a train moving at 45 miles per hour, you will have 2 seconds to process what is going on and form a plan to get out of the way. That's not enough time.

Rossen Reports update: See how long it can take to hear a train coming

It is DARWIN. Survival of the fittest.
Or The Stupid do not make it.
We should simply everything reasonable to protest people
I have done many extremely dangerous things in my life.
However, I knew what I was doing.

For most people the most dangerous part of their day is the drive to work
I had a part time job which involved explosives.
The most dangerous part of the job was getting to the work site.

It pains me to say this but most city folks lack survival skills.
I grew up in rural Quebec. The people who get hit by trains, drown, crash through the ice in their snowmobiles, flip over in their ATV's and/or get attacked by animals were city folks.
I live next to a railroad crossing. Perfectly safe crossing the tracks, I've done it [it's part of the street crossing]. The only way you could get run over is if you are trying to kill yourself or is you are extremely stupid. Sure 4 year olds are not the sharpest tools in the shed but still, and that kid had family around. For fucks sake
That family should be sued for any emotional damage done to the train operator and for clean up costs and should be forced to move to Cornhole Ontario where they can live among their derpy kind.

Probably safer than those darn TTC streetcar tracks where streetcars run both ways.
