I have to congratulate you members of the railroad community for your fierce response to this post and others concerning grade crossing accidents. I'd mention names, but I'm afraid I would miss someone. I have never seen such a compassionate and caring community. You certainly represent yourselves and your employers well. You hit the nail right on the head - personal responsibility. If we can just get those killed by grade crossing accidents to accept personal responsibility for their actions this problem (well it's not really even a problem, is it) would just go away. I particularly like the poignant post where someone described the impact on the train engineer. He had to face several hours of questioning and then had to pee in a cup! What for?? We certainly know who the true victim was here - NOT the fellows who got killed. This could be so effective that I suggest this community put together a group of volunteers to go out and visit the parents/children/spouses of grade crossing victims and explain to them to them how they shouldn't feel bad because their loved one was a bonehead anyway for being such a careless driver. And if she/he wasn't driving then they were a bonehead for getting in the car with such a bonehead driver. If this doesn't work, sow a little quilt by suggesting if they had done a better job of looking after the recently departed one, the accident might never have happened. I'm sure this would make them feel ever so much better and significantly shorten the period of mourning. How hard could this be - there are only one or two deaths every day! And I love the way you agressively assert your ownership of this forum. You've got me convinced you're paying for the server and the bandwidth. Certainly a little foul language and implied threats helps to keep these kooks off our forum. What right do they have? This is America isn't it! Keep it up guys and girls! As a modeler and a railfan you certainly make me feel good about the railroad community.
