Also from the same thread:

For people who aren’t intimately knowledgeable about the Seattle rail system, the Mt Baker station is an elevated platform. Meaning she had to have driven the WRONG WAY on a railroad about 40 feet up in the air for SEVERAL MILES to end up here.

Edit: it looks like it was not “several miles” but less then one mile; a notable feat anyway:

    “Several miles” is incorrect. Measuring on Google Earth says 500m, or 0.3 miles.
    Still a fuckup but much less impressive

      I think what’s most concerning is that it’s an elevated station. How do you leave the surface and not notice?

            I imagine that is what happened. Fear of reversing can make somebody plunge further ahead with some hope they could get out of it at a lower point with no repercussions? Still the wrong move but people be dumb

              She was also driving north on the southbound tracks. After that station, you head into a long underground tunnel as the train passes through the downtown.

              Hope might spring eternal, but every bit going forward was actually more dangerous than the bit before for her and the thousand people on each train.
