Lawyers love railroads. They all think railroads have deep pockets and are easy targets. <br /> <br />In general if the lawyers are not sueing the railroad for not cutting bru***rees at crossings and therefor causing some fool to drive out in front of the train. They are sueing them for cutting the bru***ress because of a angry property owner liked the trees. <br /> <br />Same hold true for blowing the horn. The horn is to loud in one case, next day, the railroad did not blow the horn loud enough. <br /> <br />Really comes down to this. People do not obey the laws. To get hit by a train, you got to get in its way. <br /> <br />I will end with this. <br /> <br />IIt was a hot summer day, the cab windows were open. The horn was making my head hurt. The ear plugs were not enough after nearly 12 hours on the road. <br /> <br />I still see the woman's eyes, we made eye contact. She looked right at me as the engineer layed into the horn. Something told me she was going to try to beat us over the crossing. <br /> <br />She tried! <br /> <br />I still see her vehicle flying through the air. <br /> <br />She latter claimed there was no horn and she did not see us. I am glade she lived! <br /> <br />RIW <br /> <br />
