<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The lady was trespassing on the railroad tracks themselves
when she was almost killed and has the audacity to sue for her
stupidity. This one is as bad as the
McDonald's coffee farse. The problem if she gets a judge or a
jury that sees her side the railroad will be in big trouble.

10:48 am ((PST))<BR><BR>Woman sues RR for injuries while taking
pictures<BR><BR>JACKSON, Miss. - Helen Gable was taking pictures on the railroad
tracks in Tupelo in 2006 when a train nearly cut off her leg as she tried to get
out of the way.<BR><BR>Gable and her husband are suing the railroad company for
nearly $6 million.<BR><BR>Gable says the company should have posted trespassing
signs to keep people away.<BR><BR>The lawsuit also claims the train was
exceeding federal speed limits and that a cable was hanging off the side and cut
her.<BR><BR>BNSF Railway Company spokeswoman Suann Lundsberg said the company is
investigating and is sympathetic to Gable's injuries, but "she admits in her
lawsuit filing that she was trespassing" to take photos on the
track.<BR><BR>Lundsberg also said BNSF has equipment that detects if something
is hanging or dragging from a train.<BR><BR></FONT><A href=""><FONT
