<br />The "problem" with grade crossings in this country seems to be the mentality supported by "Operation Lifesaver" that the driver is ALWAYS at fault. What about the overwhelming amount of knowledge that the railroad has in regards to sight distance, percieved speed of train, etc. and yet refuses to act on it because it will effect the precious bottom line. That is a pathetic excuse for the loss of human life. I know there are people out there that try to beat the train, but what about the ones that are not trying to beat the train but are at a distinct disadvantage not only in knowledge but also in the actual mechanics of the crossing not being adequate to determine if it is safe to cross? Please open your eyes and consider the complete story, not just this facade that "Operation Lifesaver" puts on. In a perfect world stop/look/listen would be ideal, but why discount all the available knowledge and ability the railroad has to PREVENT unreasonable risks at crossing? Thank you for your comments
