I recall members giving examples of how conditions can compromise visibility, and how reflectors could help to mitigate this problem, but I can't recall anyone stating that the auto driver should be forgiven/absolved for his part.</span></span></p> <div style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></div> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">[/quote]</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">I will see if I can find that thread. People commented that they had almost run into trains at night because the train was hard to see. They did not say it was because they were over-driving their headlights, or not paying attention. They said it clearly the fault of rail cars that were hard to see. </span></span></p>
