<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mention has been made of the number of times vehicles cross this crossing without a collision, and is that therefore an indication that the risk is insignificant?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But there has to be a train approaching for there to be any risk at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wonder how many trains cross this crossing in 24 hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How many of them are passenger trains?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are there more than two passenger trains and four freight trains per day?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">It could be that a wide-open highway with a high speed limit and a state that countenances speeding poses an exceptionally high risk of collision every time a vehicle and a train arrive at the crossing at the same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is just that that might only happen once a month. </span></span></span></p>
