There's a Facebook Cambodia Trains group (or something like that). Lot's of pictures and stories.
I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.

In a separate case, a drunken man was run over by a train yesterday in Phnom Penh, causing doctors to amputate one of his legs.
Im Kak, chief of Samroang Krom commune, said that the identity of the victim is currently unknown because the victim had a speech disability.
“The accident severely damaged his left foot and we contacted the military nearby to bring him to the military hospital,” he said.

Train line to be equipped with safety measures
April 30, 2018
In an effort to prevent train accidents, the Transport Minister yesterday announced that barriers will be put in place at some crossings along the Serei Sophorn-Battambang train line and that 70 walkie-talkies are to be distributed to railway security guards to improve communication.
Speaking during the inauguration of the 65-kilometre train line, Transport Minister Sun Chantol said that the ministry is studying the impact of railways on the local population. He said that the ministry is appealing to residents to obey the rules and to mind their safety.
Mr Chantol said that the ministry will utilise barriers at some crossings to prevent people from crossing when a train is oncoming. The ministry will also hand out 70 walkie-talkies to security guards so they can communicate along the railway.
“There were three accidents recently involving trains, but no one died,” he noted. “Do not dare to cross when you see the train. Do not try to cross, it’s dangerous. Please be careful.”
