This [steam locomotives might kill you] obviously seems silly in hindsight.

To be fair, many people did die on level crossings and by wandering on to the tracks.

We learned over time to put in place safety fences and tunnels.

People thought that the speed itself was dangerous, that the wind and vibration and landscape screaming by at 25mph would cause physical and mental harm.
