Yes, But also Note- I enevr said the Train had to be Right there... it could be one or two Blocks Away... How about A "pull in case of stall" just like "pull in case of fire" you msut Rememeber, that is why those devices are installed around public buildings- A fire Detector is only Likely to detect a fire whne it is already mid process, I.E too late, and about 25-30% of your building is gone. That is why, in every public building you will find "Pullin case of fire" or "Break glass and Pull" Rememebr Machines are not Humans- They can Not do anyhting outside of what their Firmware permits. The manangers of a Building are Relying on you- Too see a fire and alert the public, They DO NOT rely on the fire detectors to sense a fire, they rely on the fire detectors to ALERT you. There is a difference- Like i said, I don't know a terrible lot about Signals, But i do know this To place an iterpritor, a few resistors a capsitor and maybe a Pull lever or a button, Would not cost an extrodinary amount. Mookie, For once, I don't agree with you. Weather you want to admit it or not, S&*^ happens and cars break down. Someitmes, and more often then not, it is unexpected. Now if you take your Distance traveled (50 miles) and factor in your chances of stalling on the Railroad tracks, the percent chnace works out to be about 0.000125%. An almsot non existant number, but the chance is still there. Now where ironhorseman Picked up the fact that i said 65% of corssings have gates, Was not what i said, I said 65% or more, have signals near the crossing or within 500 feet of them, simply because Roads equal power, power equals electricity, Signals function with Electricity. I said Signals, Not Crossing devices Don't get them confused... Rememebre if the track is straight. And the Train is more thne a block away, the Engineer will have time to react to the red signal An extra 25 secondes is better then a kick in the teeth. A gree, The Railroad should stop for no one. I disagree that, should someone wind up accidnetly on the tracks, we should jsut MOW them down, simply because they were there through no fault of their own? matter of fact, Next time any engineer sees somehting on the tracks, They outta speed up, then right beofre they are about to hit the object/person, yell out the window and say "Sorry, I stop for no one, RR policy!" Well somehting like this Did happen, A car stalle don the Tracks, And i liscensed signla man was behind them in his car, he cut open the signal box and rerouted the power and caused a red signal, the train stopped within time. However, the Signla maintainer was then fired from His railroad simply because of his actions. He brought his case to what is called "the court for wrongful dissmissals" and he won, The Railroad had no choice but to reinstate his job within 6 hours after he won his case, And the Railroad came under heavy Scrutany for even thinking about, let alone acting on, firing the guy, who saved a life. Rememebr, i'm not trying to blame Mcdonalds for Spilling coffee on myself, I am simply thinking of accident diversion plans. Weather you like it or not, I reiderate, Crap happens, We can debate until next friday weather that lady spilled cofee on herself accidently oron purpose, and why the hell she sued McDonalds for her own Stupidity. Thats not what i'm debating. I am Simply stating that, Everyones car will break down.
