The picture was taken over a year ago... Is that a good enough explanation?
So what? Don't be such a whining wimp. Run where you can, when you need to. Its not like a train is going to sneak up on you and surprise you. It is much more dangerous on the streets but limp-wristed, whining babies are not saying "Ohhhhhh, running on the street......"

Was this an actual training run or a photo shoot? Do pro runners have people follow them on regular runs to take pictures?

Do you really need help figuring this out?
I recognized those tracks and used to run there a lot. It's cuesta grade behind poly canyon on the cal poly SLO campus. The team ran there all the time. Trains came through but very slowly because it was down a curvey hill. The real question is whether she runs through the long dark tunnels.

I did that run plenty of times in college. Beautiful view, and in that spot you are 3 or 4 ft off the tracks not 10. The trains going uphill there are crawling along but ones going downhill are hauling.
It is definitely illegal although no cop is going to get up to the spot where the pic is take to arrest a runner. I got stopped by a cop running along those tracks down by the men's colony where there's easy access. He let me off with a warning.

You shouldn't ..... My brother was killed running distance on railroad tracks.

The poor girl! While sucking her thumb and assuming the worst in this big, bad world, she should curl in a fetal position in a safe, concrete structure without windows, surrounded by barbed wire and Nike stormtroopers carrying semi-automatics. As Tarzan told Jane, "It's a jungle out there!"
DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!!
What if we just understand that Jordan ain't no fool, opts to run safely on a RR access road like so many of us do, and that camera angles deceive?
Steve Irwin died from a sting ray, not a rattlesnake...
I have run on that path in SLO many times. It is not dangerously close. If a train comes it can go by and you don't have to move.
Ahh... I miss that run. One such run that went up in those hills we called Sound of Music. Many a Sunday was spent up there.
And she is not wearing earbuds or anything else that would prevent her from hearing the train's warning horn / whistle.

Rumor has it that she was hit in the heel by a train or bitten there by a mountain lion while doing a workout on the railroad service road. Truth be told, she dropped a Mountain Dew on her foot while train-ing there.
Those service roads are so dangerous. Watch out, runners! Safer to run in traffic -- not with cars, but traffic like that seen in the exchange zone of the 4x100 at the Penn Relays.

sadly, after her DNS in Boston, Jordan's become a hobo and here is running after a freight train to jump in a boxcar to nowhere.
Cheetah, I loved sound of music, even with all you yahoos... ;) TBH, for the first 6+ miles, it was always a PITA to keep up with you guys, but sure couldn't beat that view, it was honestly on par with MDO.

No way her feet are that big.
I've ran there in the past, it's at the canyon at the back of Cal Poly. There's literally no trains for 6 or 12 hours depending on the day. It's pretty safe and an open area, so you can see a train coming from a mile away. I've never seen a train on my run in the area, they usually pass through at midnight and occasionally day time.

I think the whole point of her post is that she knows she is being reckless, but she is using her problem as a ladder to gain a better perspective.
She is showing of. She should do parkour if she likes done that kind of stuff. I wouldn't run on a track like that. Only Bekele could get away with that. He could run from Portland Maine to Portland Oregon without a train catching him.
Why does she still have the face and figure of a 12-year old girl?
It's terrible that so many ANTI-SEMITES trash a nice Arab-American kid like Jordan.
