On EVERY account I ever had with local rr it was just the opposite! The employees did not want to see myself or anyone else hurt...God forbid killed. Have you ever heard of the saying 'NOT ON MY SHIFT'? This is something I've heard in saftey rings and police deparments MANY times...Why because who wants to be the one who has to knock on your door and give your family the bad news, well..no one here thats for shure! Lets not forget that most of us are railfans or work the rails. We all had our fair share of near misses and some (as sad as it is)even stared death straight in its face. No one my friend would do this type of thing intentionaly. If there is a dangerous X-ing in your area then contact your local government. If I had to deal with one I know I would, but there is none (localy) that has ever made me nervious enough to do so. It's up to the locals to make it the governments problem, because on man/woman cannot do so by themself! Again Im NOT pointing fingers but saftey is on all sides of the track. This is why OLS was made. Also I noticed that on www.oli.org that they have a list of officials to contact. That shows that there is a government attachment to this delemia. Did any one else put ols on there web pages? I did, will anyone click on the link...I dont know but aleast they have the option! Keep your bodys warm and your heads cool!!
