These two men waved to me when they saw me pointing my camera on their direction. Everyday, the Philippine National Railway (hope I got it right) crosses over Pandacan from Bicol going through North. Tagged as the "killer train," there are many incidents of hit and run day by day hauled by this beast, either people or even light vehicles. Most of the victim are kids, living along the railroad, beside the railroad, and under the railroad (yep, you got it right).

Killer train?
That would assume the train has its own thought pattern.
One has to ask, were the people on the tracks there actually there legally (PNR workers or officials)?
It should also be noted that trains ceased running from Bicol in late 2006, before this was uploaded.

That's right, trains have the "Right of way", there are no killer trains just as there are no killer cars or planes!
Why, killer trains are not even an "urban Myth", it is a stupid thing to describe a transport vehicle as a "killer", it is the people who don't keep a safe distance from the train, or hang out of doors etc, that are their own killers!
