The Mercury News, San Jose, CA 6/30/16:
Cameras might replace guards on suicide watch at Caltrain tracks

The city plans to test the system as a long-term solution for monitoring the rail corridor where there have been multiple teen suicides between 2009 and 2015.
Using such a camera system could eventually replace the need for Track Watch, a program in which the city stations contracted, private security guards at five crossings, according to a city staff report. Such services will cost the city $1.6 million next year.
