Ed, Thanks for opening this post. There are so many fine, constructive ideas expressed here, it's hard to come up with another one. What about AAR sponsorship of prime time OL ads, say how about one during Super Bowl 2 minute warnings or late half timeouts. Maybe Oprah or Dr. Phil could speak to their fans as well. Another sore spot with me are commercials using trains and hot cars or batteries that start all the time allowing a close escape. We would call that a near miss. Most railroads now prescreen such ads, but I've seen some that are absolutely horrible. <br />But what I really want to opine here is the recognition of the other victims of crossing accidents...the train crews and especially the engineers. You never forget the incidents. You learn to live with them and realize that there was nothing more that you or anyone else could have done. I am loathe to start war stories, but the look on a person's face in the last second of their life is poignant. gdc
