<P mce_keep="true">[quote user="Mike O"] <P>Well, in this case it is the railroad's fault, since the railroad's employees turned off the safety devices. If the crew was at the scene waiting to see if the gates worked, they should have flagged the crossing. Remember, these guys apparently thought the gates were working when in fact they had turned them off. Pretty negligent. </P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P><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"><FONT face=verdana,geneva size=2>Certainly there is negligence on the part of the railroad, but the driver broke the law by not yielding.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How can this not count?
