[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Junctionfan</i> <br /><br />Crossings should be replaced by over and under passes when ever finance can be spared mostly on the part of the government of every level. I say that because in Europe there are few crossings and so I would wager there is few accidents related to it. By doing this, people aren't bothered by train horns, engine crews are worried about dumb bells in cars running the gates, railroads don't have to worry about fouling and clearances related to it, and it also allows the possibility of increase train speeds. <br />[/quote]Junctionfan, What you say is great, but expensive, Ways and Means are always a topic of interest to the two main players in this question, states and railroads. I'm afraid that the civilian world outside of the two main players will have to remain second in the interests of getting the grades seperated for the mutual benefit off all conscerned. To bad they can't see any further than what Wall Street says.
