Ok for folks that have never done anything in LE.....
Day one schiet if you are working around a rail yard or tracks is to request dispatch to contact said rail company (U.P., Bnsf, whatever) to stop all traffic. Especially if you're in a pursuit or high risk stop that ends near OR ON railroad tracks, stop all rail traffic. Last thing you want is to get smushed by a train or a suspect fleeing on foot to get smushed.
That wasn't done. Either due to incompetence or idiocy. People make mistakes, and these people made a few.

We had 4 sets of tracks in the city I worked in (fire department) and Metro-North controlled them. We couldn’t always shut the whole thing down, depending on the call. Hope your officer gave the right track number. The commuter trains were electric, couldn’t hear them coming.

Lover her tattoos and black nail polish. Screams professional, I can't believe she'd have her head so far up her vajayjay that she'd leave her vehicle with a subject in the cage parked on the tracks.
Somebody should have kept to answering the phones methinks.

Too bad the patrol car didn’t have a PA system to instruct the “perp” to pull ahead 50 feet.

A lot of people will associate this tragedy with the officer being female.
They may be correct. Well, there were also plenty of "bubbas" standing around that seemed oblivious to the car being on the tracks until it was too late. You're right, it was their fault she straddled the RR tracks with a suspect inside. ...any bets as to who'll win the lawsuit ?. Not their fault that she stopped the car on the tracks but they could have told her to move her car off the tracks. But that doesn't fit your narrative, does it? You're right we should replace police forces everywhere with female officers only, they never get anything wrong in the heat of the moment by virtue of being emotionally driven as opposed to being logic driven. Is everyone in Houston as smart as you or is John Cornyn an anomaly? How do you feel about Tulsi as president?

Holy crap, with such a disregard for a citizens life, does anyone still wonder why cops are universally hated? I guarantee you if that had been a cop on the tracks that schitshow wouldn't have went down like that.

The lack of response to get the car off the tracks, let alone park it there in the first place is pretty damning.

Personally think it would have been real easy to do. She should have figured it out, by the time the lady was put in the car. Monday morning quarterbacking, gotta wonder if she was accustomed to RR tracks. Not everyone is used to dealing with them and see them The same way. At one time a line ran 500 yards from here. Multiple lines throughout the county. Now there might be 15 mile of line, the closest is 30 miles away. Can go weeks without seeing a rail, months without going over a crossing.

Once you have someone in custody their safety is on you. That was a very costly mistake for the taxpayers of that area, and the retards involved just had the honor of starting in a training video.

Did the train engineer get cited for not moving over and slowing down?

Both of those idiot cops ought to get canned. That has got to be the stupidest crap I've ever seen. Their lack of situational awareness, let alone being "aware" that parking on RR tracks, is the height of dumbassery.
I got a lot of family in the RR business, it's not like they have a lot of latitude in what they can do. Stopping a train requires a minimum of a mile, if you're lucky.
My younger stepbrother was an engineer for BNSF, and he hit more than one car during his years. People are just plain stupid around trains these days.
I grew up in a small town along the RR, we got lots of films like "Death on the Tracks" during school years, it was always hammered into our skulls to stay away from the tracks whenever we could.

Not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Yes. Someone is probably going to get rich.

Wow. How someone so stupid can be badged is a scary thought. That said, the enginator COULD have wiped the clock a lot earlier with all those gumball machines going tilt.

I don't think it was the woman cop's patrol car on the track. She was arriving after the car on the tracks was already there. The large cop giving instructions to the lady looks like it was his car.
