She claims she didn't know the tracks were in active use -- yet as revealed in further investigation, she lives 4 blocks away from them. And they are very heavily used tracks at that.

But the other funny thing -- Norfolk Southern will probably pay her claim. The rail industry virtually always settles out of court.



The cost of defending her action, successful or not, would probably far exceed what she's claiming.

If if they won and were awarded costs, what are the chances of collecting? Either way they lose.
