We all know the joke about the light at the end of the tunnel.
It turns out to be a train coming.
Or some fucker bringing you more work.
Phrases and sayings always have a meaning in reality, but we often forget where the saying came from. Like something going viral.
Well, this makes me feel sick.
A person has been hit and killed by a train in the Rimutaka tunnel.
What an awful way to go. You'd hear the train (or vibrations in the track) long before you saw it, with bugger all options to get out of its way.
I can't imagine how the train driver will be feeling. I'd expect nightmares, and certainly would have a few hang-ups about driving trains into tunnels.
I know the Police had arrested and prosecuted a guy that had been caught walking through the tunnel twice before, moderately recently, like a few months ago. i.e. a repeat offender. Wonder if it was the same guy.
