Doesn't it seem like a chainsaw, shovels, and a couple of handy folks would be standard equipment on any train?

Probably had to do with insurance liability than anything else. Even if it was employee's. They probably have dedicated crews for this type of situation.



Non employee.

Between the grotesque Jabba-the-Hut obesity, tree hugger's who didn't want to disturb the environment, white males who been shamed out of their "entitled" duties as men, and the occasional  black guy too busy sexual harassing the white girls....

Do you even need to ask why nobody did anything?
