The other day I got my usual GO Train announcements concerning delays etc.This time they announced that a pedestrian was killed when hit by a Via train just west of Pickering Junction/Station. This type of event usually causes considerable delay for commuters to get home as all rail traffic is halted in that corridor.
Yes people ranted, raved venting anger and got to the point where some required anger management.
It is unfortunate that people will get home late and yet no one gave any though to the man that was killed on the tracks. It turns out he was an employee of CN Rail working at track level. He did not get home to his family. His family had to visit him in the morgue and identify his parts in a rubber body bag.
What a pity that we are so selfish. For reasons unknown to me I felt sad. I shed a tear for this stranger.
Did I get home late, about an hour. So what!!!
