The woman was standing on railway tracks to take photos of the sea before being hit by a train in Otaru city in Hokkaido on Thursday, Xinhua news agency said, citing Japanese media.

      The conductor is not the one driving the train. That’s the train driver.

      Anyways, I read that almost every driver will eventually experience it. So I guess it’s just part of the job description.

    This sounds like the beginning of an Isekai Manga story. People, please do not stand on a train track, please! Be reasonable.

    I could have swore Japanese trains were known for moving faster than a speeding something or other…
