Sorry Reggie, but the higher speeds work. I'm a former C&S, now BNSF engineer. At Fort Collins, CO we bisect the campus of CSU, because the RR gave the land to the state to build the school (a fact they conveniently forget). The speed limit was 20 for years (100?), then the RR caved in to city pressure to lower it to 15, now the Santa Fe management says it's either 12 or 20, so now it's ten!Now, the city is howling over blocked crossings, lengthy delays, and one female student lost her leg, and others injured, when "hopping" the slow moving trains while drunk! 2 questions: Who was there first, my money's on the RR, and are these crossing marked and protected? Those flashers and crossbucks are there for a reason, the railroad doesn't beleive in ornaments!!
