Your apparent humor in this is very sad. Do me a tremendous favor and goto the following website and at least consider the rest of the story. <br />http://angelsontrack.org <br /> <br />You guys have an incredible chance to make a difference by telling your supervisors what you run into every day. What would be there response if you approached them on a regular basis about seeing cars crossing tracks? Do you guys experience some crossing that knowlingly have reduced visible sight distance? I am going to take you up on the offer to watch crossing, because I plan on doing just that. I know there is a sad mentality these days of everyone being in a rush. My concern is more for the person who is doing everything in there power but have such a disadvantage due to the design or layout of the crossing. Don't you think those crossings could be addressed by the railroad? The crossing in question in the case I was on has ~70ft of right of way that could be cleared for improved sight distance, but has yet to be improved. Why is that? <br />Take care and I promise not to use the caps anymore. I also don't consider myself to be by any stretch of the imagination an expert on crossings. I will promise you that I will be learning as quick as my two brain cells will allow me. I may not be able to find my way home from work but I will know alot more about crossings. Thank you for your dialog aside from the rude comments. <br />Mike <br /> <br />PS I still love you guys as probably the hardest working bunch out there except for truck drivers(Just kidding!!)
