Welcome to Kristens Law
Kristen was born July 13th 1991 and was killed when she was struck by a freight train in Villa Park, Illinois on February 11th, 2006. Kristen, an Honors Freshman at Willowbrook High School was struck and killed by an eastbound Union Pacific freight train at 7:55 when she was enroute to meet a friend at the North Terrace Park. Is Kristen Bowen an innocent victim of a political system influenced by big money campaign contributions, lobbyists and fears of liability? Can the largest railroad company in the nation control multiple levels of government? What is the relationship between Union Pacific Railroad and the Federal Railroad Administration? Is our system of checks and balances as strong as we think? Why won't the railroads provide safety barriers in high risk areas? Why aren't the railroads held to the same safety requirements as the residents? How do they get away with it? How many lives are lost annually? How many more lives will be lost? We at kristenslaw.org can respecthe railroads and applaud their efforts in maintaining a quality educational safety program. Unfortunately education alone is not enough. People are dying. Children are dying. We need to target high risk areas and implement the necessary safety solutions before loss of life occurs!!
