<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">[quote user="edblysard"]</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:small;">It’s a private road, leading to a private business, over a private crossing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:small;">What gives CSX the legal right to trespass on this man’s road and post signs on his property?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:small;">Oh, wait…Big brother has the right to do so, ...</span><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">[/quote]</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I don’t think anybody would have to trespass. CSX must own the land under the crossing and considerable distance on each side. I assume that CSX has the right to stipulate how the crossing is marked. But, beyond that, the company served by the private crossing and the CSX must have come to some agreement just to create the crossing. So I am sure they could agree on improving its protection. But I have not seen the crossings, so I can’t conclude that protection is lacking. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">Big brother is another problem. I see no solution for that one. I have heard of a concept where so much will be known about everyone that it will be possible to predict what they will do each day. It is hoped that crime can be eliminated because a person's intent to commit a crime will be known in advance. So they can be arrested before committing the crime instead of afterward. </span></p>
