There is no greater pain than being forever separated from those you love dearly. The pain is magnified when the loss is due to senseless irresponsible actions causing an untimely death or a future life filled with despair.      Throughout our lives we are made aware of horrible tragedies that occur worldwide as we solemnly acknowledge how truly sad and unfair life can be at times. Still, thoughts that any such things could happen within our own family seem impossible so we go on our merry way. This is the way that people cope with carrying on with their lives each day, placing aside any fear that could easily become disabling.      However, we should not be so blind to that which we should fear. Any industry that holds profit more sacred than human lives, is one to be feared. The time is long passed due that the truth surrounding the rails of this nation be brought before the people. With truth, others might never suffer the anguish of loved ones perishing before their time -- along the tracks.
