[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by mudchicken fuzzball: If there should have been gates, sue the state PUC and county for failure to fund installation. The gates are there to protect the railroad from idiot motorists as much as the other way around...(Hint: There is no money in that, so the lawyers are not inclined to try that tactic...) starched feathers [/quote] MC- Yeah, I wi***here was a way of pressuring the government entities (local, state and Feds) to actually put up enough money to fund all of the necessary crossing improvements. Unfortunately, most of those funds are alotted on the basis of body count rather than as a way to prevent future collisions. Of course, the government has immunity from lawsuits (which can be waived, although it seldom is in any meaningful way) so you won't get damages from them. The best you can do in most cases is force them to spend money through an injunction or other court order. LC
