Horrible that this happened. There is no way to prevent it though. Kind of like as long as there’s cars there will be fatal car crashes... I don’t think it would impact future steam excursions, it would be a shame if it did.
we all grow up hearing stories about how someone was killed walking on the tracks, just not aware a train is coming. I guess for some people the brain just fails to process the warnings around them.
sorry to the crew of the 844 and the passengers that had the experience turn tragic.
