I don't know where to start, but I want so badly to contribute. Reading everything that has been said here has been extreamly emotional. I have been between two places reading it all. At first I was happy reading that someone was trying to take on the community, asking for railroaders advice on how to properly go about it. I was enthusiastic. Then a couple of engineers came on, and my own black memories started to haunt me. All I could think reading their angry statements was..."It doesn't matter if there is a crossing, with large flashing red lights and a fog horn and an alert with bells and whistles and the engineers sound their succession on horns...none of it matters at the end of the day. Because at the end of the day, if you sat in an engin for even four hours, you would relize that it doesn't mean a thing.....they don't care. They go right through them anyways. They think that I am some slow moving freight train trickling along and I can stop any time, any where. They don't realize that I am a high speed passenger train that will knock the life out of them in an exriciating momment..." I have given up two days off to Operation Life saver. Thing is, when you talk to kindergarten kids, you can't really tell them about all the gore....I can't even mention that on here! I have to tell them about "Roger the Railroad Rabbit" and "where do you think would be a safe place to play?" It is a truly good program, but I'm not strong enough to do it anymore. However, If there was some way that you could petition your community, to make them aware of the danger of that crossing, your efforts, (successful or non successful) would at least educate people, for at least a short while on the dangers of rail road crossings. The rail roads however, as I believe Ed pointed out, are not at all responsible or ALOWD to touch the private property they cross through. You don't cut down your neighbours tree because it blocks your morning sun, do you? TORONTO
