    How many of Antiochs residents does Amtrak get to kill before they will be forced to implement better security around their tracks?

      As many as they want when dumbasses keep walking in front of it voluntarily. How is AMTRACk at fault for THIER SUICIDES?
      Brainless.

    Excuse me? Amtrak doesn’t have to get out of anyone’s way. The person should never ever be on the track. My parents taught me that 75 years ago.

      Julio, this is Antioch. A city where the ghetto believe they always have the right of way and are entitled to everything a hard working educated person has.

      What’s right is wrong, what’s wrong is right. Welcome to Antioch.

        Well said. This town is a lost cause…..”little Oakland” is what they should change the name to. City councel should be shot for treason by voting in all the damn low income housing that brought all this dreg here from oakland to richmond… Nothing but tweeker thieves, Stinky ass street bums, crackheads, and system leeches with no ambition to work a day in thier life. Just pop kids out for more welfare.
