As a former DOT inspector in North Carolina I saw and continue to see a great deal of both sides of the grade crossing discussion. In 1997 I was on duty just north of Charlotte and observed what was then called the first sealed crossings in the state. It was referred to by state forces as a monitored four gate quad crossing with an island at the approach. at this time most crossings were the encrochment type mentioned above, unless the state owned the railroad which in this particular case it did. The railroad (NS) did the construction and I got to watch. Later at a conference I saw some of the results. A trucking company got caught by the monitor breaking the gates. After saying that there was no way that their trucks could have done such a thing. The railroad then showed the photos from the monitors and the evidence was in, it was the railroad that held for the state's right to govern its real estate. This was a first for me with the explaination that sovergnty takes many varried and strange forms[2c]
