[quote user="zugmann"] Seriously.  What is your interest in the subject?  You seem hellbent on exploring every detail of this crossing, but never explain your interest in it.[/quote] Grade crossing issues interest me because they seem to pose a bad problem that cannot be solved.  So I look into nooks and crannies to see what might have been overlooked in the quest for a solution.  I analyze the problem.  I write about this stuff.  It’s kind of like a hobby.  I find that there is great resistance to suggesting improvements because the industry and its representatives, after failing to solve the problem for over 150 years, hate the crossing violators so much that they appear to want them to be simply killed off by their behavior rather than to look for ways to save them, even though saving them might be a more effective way to actually solve the problem.  How else can you explain the incredible push back against the proposal to add a simple active advance warning system to a grade crossing on a 70 mph highway?
