  • Woman Sues For No "Danger Of Walking Near Train Tracks" Warnings

    From pittsburghlive.com

    <i>A Jeannette woman who was slightly injured after being struck by a train while walking along railroad tracks sued Norfolk Southern Corp. Thursday for failing to warn pedestrians that trains travel on tracks.

    Patricia M. Frankhouser, of 910 Scott Ave., is seeking an unspecified amount in excess of $30,000 from the Norfolk, Va., rail transport company for the Jan. 6 incident that left her with a broken finger, cuts on her hand and pain, according to the suit.

    Greensburg attorney Harry F. Smail Jr., who represents Frankhouser, didn't return a call seeking comment.
