    Sounds like this can easily be solved by installing lights/alarms along the track that are triggered by the train’s approach. If the bears are too drunk to get out of the way when the train gets there the options are either to A) slow the trains down and put the operators on bear watch duty or B) give the bears more time to move and make enough noise/light to kick that movement into high gear

      I'm sure there's heaps of easy solutions, just no incentive sadly. There's dangerous intersections in my city that have gotten too many people killed and nothing has been done about them for years.

      Hopefully something gets done about this, though.
