[quote user="zugmann"] <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> Convicted One:</div> <div></div> LET ME ASK A QUESTION TO THE GROUP(all may feel invited to chime in):   How many here believe that the fact that the autos "violated" the sanctity of the crossing should preclude responsibility by all other parties? <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote>   Nice loaded question.  Esp. the use of quotation marks and the religious connotation... <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] I don’t think it is a loaded question.  It is the essential, fundamental question of this thread.  It is also the fundamental question of this thread about Katie Lunn being killed at a crossing in Chicago when the lights failed to activate: <a href="/TRCCS/forums/t/172751.aspx?PageIndex=1">http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/t/172751.aspx?PageIndex=1</a>     In both this thread and that thread, no clear answer was found.  Earlier in this thread, I concluded that the drivers had to be at fault.  However, in reviewing the above thread from spring of 2010, I am reminded of the conflicting language of the Illinois law.  Therefore, I must withdraw my conclusion that the drivers were at fault in either this recent double crash, or in the 4/2010 crash.   While CO’s question does have a religious connotation, I must assume that by “sanctity,” he means in legal terms.  Although, maybe “sanctity” is more applicable because it appears that the actual legal authority is so nebulous that it takes a backseat to a more religious definition of grade crossing rules.  Perhaps we should get rid of the flashers and gates, and set up a couple of stone tablets at grade crossings.
