The centerpiece of all official warning to drivers about grade crossings is the statement that trains take a long distance to stop. While that it true, it is also mostly irrelevant to grade crossing collisions.  If a train is a half mile from the crossing, anything that it might attempt to stop for will be clear of the crossing by the time gets there.  The stopping distance of the train is simply not the problem.  But nevertheless, the irrelevant point is made over and over again by the authorities as though it were the primary issue.  Therefore, it is not surprising that PTC will be directed to make crossings safer by solving the imaginary problem of inadequate stopping distance.
