Yes, they definitely need more control of our rails
This is not the first fatal pedestrian strike on this stretch of track. In November 2019, an Amtrak Capitol Corridor train struck and killed a child on Union Pacific tracks in Santa Clara, an incident that caused multi-hour delays for both Amtrak and eastbound ACE trains, as reported by SFGATE at the time. Track closures along Union Pacific's South Bay corridor routinely ripple across multiple transit operators sharing the same rails.
