Just when you think visiting Australia can't be any stranger, the Brits turn up a new one by discovering the resting place of the first person to circumnavigate Australia while renovating a train station. Remember, kids, always use lead for your coffin plate so if you are lost for a few centuries, people who find you will know who you are.

Dickwads in Melbourne who jump onto the tracks to spray paint graffiti along the walls destroy timetables. The trains have no choice but to slow down or stop.
I am guessing in the US they would run them down.
I was on a train that stopped in the middle of nowhere. The muttering of the regular commuters was along the lines of if they could jump out and deal with the problem themselves they would.
In some places the graffiti is terrible but given the length of track what do you do.

I suppose in the long run it's one of the benefits of the surveillance society we are barreling towards.
At least idiots that pull that crap will eventually be assured of identification.
Still a horrible end state in other ways, but at least there's that.
