Railways want to use fines to stop people from walking on, along train tracks

TOMAHAWK - Railroads across Wisconsin could start fining people who walk along railroad tracks. It's an effort to save lives after one of the most deadly years in the state's travel history.

Eight people died in train-involved deaths in 2014. 2015 also became a deadly year for trains in Wisconsin just two days into the new year. A Milwaukee man was hit and killed by a train on January 2nd.

Railroad experts say many accidents happen because trains can't stop fast enough.
