A pipe dream if you ask me. The idea seems to get floated around every few years. Feels almost like it's a pump-and-dump scheme. The ROI on such a massive investment I would assume take decades. And in todays business environment it seems to me that greedy investors want paybacks measured in months.

Wendy;s Employee Sabotages Crossing To Have A Slow Shift Anonymous 09/10/22(Sat)14:14:06 R No.5715 [Reply] >>5719

TILDEN TWP., Pa. — The man accused of risking a catastrophe by tampering with railroad equipment in northern Berks County didn't act alone, the police said Wednesday.

Tilden Township investigators identified Amy Schaner as the woman who helped Ryan Boria. Both worked at fast-food restaurant on Route 61.

"While they were driving through here, she dropped him off. He exited the vehicle. He placed a shunt on the track. He got back in the car with her and they proceeded to Wendy's," said Ofc. Frank Cataldi, Tilden Township Police Department.

Police said they arrested Ryan Boria, 34, of Tilden Township, on charges of causing or risking a catastrophe, criminal mischief, and reckless endangerment after surveillance cameras captured images of him messing with the train tracks near the Industrial Drive crossing on the evening of Friday, Aug. 26.

"There was another person involved that worked with him at Wendy's by the name of Amy Schaner," Cataldi explained. "They discussed putting a shunt on the tracks on their way to work."

Why did they do it?

>Police said Boria placed a makeshift device on the tracks that messed with the signal sensors, which meant the gates wouldn't have gone down when a train approached the crossing, and a crash could have happened.

"Their dispatch center would not have determined that the signal was being disrupted," explained Cataldi.

This is absolute bull shit. You can't shut the tracks and cause the gates to not work... its all fail safe. Unless he was in the hut there is nothing he could do outside that could cause the gates no not activate. I take that back you could disconnect the track circuit and if you know what your doing reconnect it... but most crossings use coded predictor circuits.>>5715
