<p>All of that illumination will just help the kids pass over to the other side and make it easier for others to clean up the mess.</p><p>If they stayed home when they were supposed to, they would have been alive today with a chance at a proper life. But no.</p><p>My solution is and continues to be elevate or bury ALL road/rail crossings so that it is physically impossible for a motor vehicle or CMV to interact with a railroad track or train.</p><p>If the inner city rail yard or rail facilities become so obselete as to block crossings all the time, then scrap the entire infrastructure and relocate it out and away from the built up areas. Last time I checked, there are lots of land out west.</p><p>Reclaim the land and use it to ignite new urban or town development.</p><p>It might take the new train, pipeline, ship or truck an extra 50-100 miles to get to the new facility but that is all part of the cost of doing business anyhow.</p>
