There aren’t 30+ freight trains each day, and they don’t run over an average of 1 pedestrian per month as far as I know.

But hey, as long as we can provide an affordable way for transients to get to and from the needle exchange safely.

Trains only run over pedestrians when the rails appear almost abandoned. A well-frequented line would be eager. (Unless they are actively trying to commit suicide)

Trains run over pedestrians when pedestrians trespass onto the track.

And pedestrians trespass when they believe that the track is almost unused. Regular trains are a fix for that.
