When something happens on the train or a road, the 'authorities' always choose to shut down everything to 'investigate'.
Why the hell don't they just remove the body, let the trains run or keep the road open, then do their silly investigation?
Why does the general public have to pay every time there is some sort of incident?
It's not like the 'authorities' actually care about the dead guy in the street or MAX tracks.

Also, FTA/FRA regulations. Fatalities have to be fully documented for insurance reasons. Same thing happens when a fatality occurs on Heavy Rail. If the person was alive, it would have gone quicker, but because it was a fatality, its a longer process.
That is the problem-REGULATIONS !
Well we just cant have anyone running a train on tracks anyway they see fit. Sometimes the rules suck, but it keeps everyone and everything consistent.
I agree - yes, the scene needs to be documented. Certainly, take a bunch of videos/photos. Spray paint the location of everything. Move the equipment. Reopen the route. Investigate later if needed.
Especially since all MAX trains and 2/3rds of buses have front-facing cameras. Many commercial trucks, and the class one railroads put cameras in their cabs too.
not all max trains have forward facing cameras. only the type 4s and a handful of type 1s.
