[quote user="WMNB4THRTL"] 2. Most all (yes, there are exceptions, to everything!) RR crossings already have: RR and crossbucks painted in advance of the Xing on the pavement; round, yellow sign in advance of crossing; lights, gates, bells and crossbucks; train tracks at the crossing, etc etc! IF a driver, willfully or otherwise, disregards ALL those devices, then a great big load of lights, sirens, and on and on and on, will be a HUGE waste of money that this country does NOT have now or for the forseeable future. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] If the truck was traveling at the speed limit, this Nevada crash began to unfold when the truck was 3000 feet from the crossing.  The standard advance warning RXR signs and the crossbuck painted on the road are much closer to the crossing.  I am not sure where they are in relation to the Nevada crossing, but it is likely that the truck was already skidding when it went by them.  An extended warning feature is available for crossings on relatively fast highways.  <o:p></o:p> And nobody is advocating “a great big load of lights, sirens, and on and on and on,” as you say.  That sounds like something zugmann would say.  He says he is not impressed  with adding 56,000 flashing lights and signs and graphics to, well, everything.
