Actually I agree with you on your point. That is why I am holding off on accepting the NTSB comment about sight distance </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">until they clearly say what they mean. </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">Otherwise, overall, I am just speculating on a possible deficiency with the crossing setup. And the final NTSB report may or may not resolve that issue. Nevada DOT is also investigating whether or not the crossing warning was adequate. I would not assume that it is a forgone conclusion that their findings will agree with those of the NTSB. And finally, there will be the verdict of the lawsuit against U.P. by the trucking company claiming that the crossing warning was not adequate. </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 6pt; margin-right: 6pt;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span></span></p>
