Yup, and it is the worst type of stupid legal result possible.
There was any number of steps that could have been taken to prevent this accident. The crossing, while in a dark place, does have non-lit crossing sites, and it isn't like someone snuck in late at night and suddenly plunked train tracks down. A train being on the train tracks... who would have thunk it?
The train company should sue the parents for damaging their train and loss of use of the tracks.
