[quote user="schlimm"] <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> BaltACD:</div> <div></div> Should the CN Rockford incident have happened? No!  Will or has CN implemented changed procedures?  Only those on CN know. <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote> If CN or any other railroad existed in their own private domains that did not continuously border the rest of the world, the above would be fine.  But it is the public's right to have some certain knowledge that safer procedures are being implemented.  It is not enough for only those on CN to know. <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] I would say that if there is a public safety interest in some aspect of a railroad’s interaction with the public, then it needs to be addressed through regulation from the public sector in order to make sure it gets done.   <o:p></o:p> Other than vehicles stalled on grade crossings, I can’t think of too many incidents where the public has found an impediment to the safe passage of a train, and needed to contact the railroad to warn them about it.   <o:p></o:p> Also, there ought to be some consideration of how the police officer should have reacted when he found the washout.  For all the officer knew, a train may have been only a couple minutes away, which would have called for very quick action to prevent the probability of accidental death.
