Mike, I wi***hey would make those idiots pay for the damage they cause to the RR after one of those. In my opinion, they should take that guys drivers license away until he can write out long hand the calculations to show the stopping distance for a train, the economic analysis of requiring trains to be subservient (sp?) to passenger cars and a paper on the psychological effects on a worker who has to endure the vision of an idiot throwing their life away under their piece of heavy equipment. Clearly, most would never get their license back in 'my world'. I have never seen a train vs auto collision but one happened within three miles of my house. A NS mixed freight was comming from the West across a road. The road was protected by flashing lights. The engineer was blowing the horn. Cars were stopped three or four deep already at the crossing. A lady with a three year old in the back wedged her way between two lanes of the waiting cars and gunned the engine to cross before the train. The train caught her back bumper, tore it off and spun the car around. I guess she was unable to leave the scene. When the police arrived she said 'I didn't hear the train, I guess I was playing the radio too loud and my window was up.' Makes me sick! Ed
