That is that the Federal Railroad Administration, speaking for the industry, has declared that freight trains pose a crash hazard, especially at night, because they can be hard to see due to the dark colors and possible lack of roadway illumination. For this reason, the FRA has mandated that all U.S. railroad freight cars be equipped with side reflectors to help warn motorists when freight cars are blocking a grade crossing.</p>
