J. Sorry for my mix up. I did not know exactly how the engineer/conductor thing worked. But I guess I do now. I will try to keep it straight(key word TRY) And I believe it would be tramatic to be either one in such a situation. And I also believe that there are many people that do not consider the engineer or the conductors remorse and sadness through such a event. I know no one in their right mind wants to kill any one. This is the kicker of the whole deal. And I am not saying this is the Gods honest truth but this is kind of what I think about the way things have snowballed. You may disagree with me and that is fine I respect that. I think there is a small part of peoples lack of sympathy for the engineer of the train because so often there is a attitude out there that if some one is hit by a train they deserved it and they "deserved to have their genes removed from the gene pool" I did see that on the site some where. I don't know who said it and it doesn't matter. But you see by those statements made by a few or a lot it puts out the notion that you guys are hardened. I am not saying I think you don't feel a loss for the human life even if they did go around the gates. I am saying that by statements like those it puts some thing into the atmosphere. I never once blames the engineer for my loss but I do not exactly think it was my loved ones fault either. I think it was a accident. A horrible thing for me and my family and a horrible thing for the engineer. Like I have discussed before malfunctions occur. When you are dealing with some thing mechanical it is not fail proof. I don't feel any thing malicious was going on. It was just unfortunate. I have seen alot of compassionate and caring people on this site. To tell you the truth it surprised me. I am ashamed to admit that but it is true. I guess I had the notion that you all were tough hardened men that just figured they were stupid and got what they deserved. I am learning from this site and I am hopping that by letting some of you know how I feel you can know that not every one blames you- don't. But some times what we say can hit some one wrong and give the feeling that that person don't care even if that is not true at all. Don't hate me because I told you what I honesly feel. I know many of you may not agree and that if fine by me. I did not come here to make you guys think like me see things my way. Like I said I am sorry you guys have to go through this kind of stuff over and over again. And I wi***hat people would obey the law. I agree it would significantly reduce crossing fatalities. But I still won't agree that it would completely get rid of crossing accident. I think the only thing that would do that is no crossings at all. Another subject i whole heartedly agree with you guys on. Thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. I appriciate all the knowledge you guys have to offer Take care always, Mel
