yep so don't you think perhaps someone in their chain of command with a functioning brain should've then thought about the possibility of trains rolling through and put a temporary hold on them?

I can understand this situation if they are in active pursuit of the suspect as there wouldn't be time to hold the trains. In this case, 15 minutes elapsed, during which the trains could have been halted for a half hour or whatever time was needed.

A good read written by a 30 year veteran of the Detroit Fire Department recalled a rescue they had of a car on the tracks where they were assured by command there was no train traffic coming. Sure enough, just as they get the guy out the regular Amtrak train rolls through and all narrowly miss losing their lives. You would think train traffic would be stopped in this situation though.
