Of course, it's Cityrail's fault. Just wait until the media get hold of 
this one! I can see the headline now "Train Derails Junkie and Causes Chaos 
to Train Network" (front page of course). The article will carp on how 
Cityrail is a disaster, and how the impact with the guard caused permanent 
damage to the Junkie. The article will then recommend that guards stay 
inside their trains while moving to prevent further Junkies from being hit 

*takes a blue pill*
