OK, fair enough. I was going by the note in the video that said the train blocked "all three major crossings within a mile".

People seem to be just a wee bit too lazy to do that and would rather do something more risky.
I'm not disagreeing with you about your feeling that the railroad should try to avoid blocking the tracks. I was just using personal knowledge of the area having stayed at in that area three times in the last calendar year to point out there is a pedestrian bridge in the vicinity to help people get over the tracks and would put people closer to the main gate to Petco Park.OK, fair enough.

misleading as it did not mention the pedestrian bridge. Assuming the pedestrian bridge is "accessible" then I will grant you that is an acceptable alternative. I still
think the railroad should try to avoid blocking the tracks during a major event like that, but if there's a bridge that does change things.
