<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="oltmannd"] <P>21 minutes was enough for the Sheriff to get a couple of people up the line in each direction to flag any train that happened along...until the got some confirmaton from CN. Whether it was the Sheriff's legal responsibility or not, it would have been the right thing to do.</P> <P>WWKSD?</P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P mce_keep="true"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">Absolutely.</SPAN></P> <P><FONT face=verdana,geneva size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">I speculate that the sheriff’s department would not have released the information about their call to CN, had not the sheriff’s department felt defensive about how they themselves handled the emergency at the scene once they discovered it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They certainly have the flares and flashing lights that would be capable of flagging down a train.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Lighting up” the crossing would have been the prudent first thing to do.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then get on the phone.</SPAN></FONT></P> <P mce_keep="true"> </P>
