First of all let me be the first to say Thank you for your comments. I was curious about the socialism aspect of this because Europe doesn't have near the problem we do in this country with crossings. They appear to take the design aspect a lot more seriously than we do. Of course when the "bottom line" is at stake, cost become's a large factor in the equation. I used to work for a "profit" company and now work for a governemt agency. Let me tell you I will never work for a "profit" company again if I can help it. The difference in mentality is truly amazing. I was concerned though by your comment about the presumption that everybody sees the trains. That is a large assumption that I feel is weighed a little to heavy. What about the presumption of self-preservation? Do you honestly think all these people are suicidal? Probably not. In the case I was on a large factor that was overlooked was that very issue. You can't assume that someone was trying to kill themselves. I am curious about the situation in Canada, could you relate some of what you are familiar with in regards to crossings up there. Such as the types of gates, are most protected?,etc. I look forward to finding out about this as best you can relate it to us down here in the states. Take care and thank you for the info.. By the way was up in Collingwood in November, Beautiful Country!!! <br />Mike
