I can send you some scrap poles and cable to make median barriers out of. Or safety cones are pretty cheap ---just screw them to the street---pvc pipe sticking up every couple of feet works as median barriers. Whoop couldn't say -0- the could you. Now the question is what is the time from the first flashing light and the train gets there? Should be like 40 seconds for a quad track crossing. Is there 2nd, 3rd, 4th track occupied equipment installed at the crossing? How about are two trains allowed in the crossing area at the same time where one becomes the sight obstruction? How about occupied crossing equipment with lasors shooting across at diagonal angles to tell the train crew two miles before they get there that a gas truck is stalled on the crossing. Is the approach deiced before the trains move across. And the big question is how the heqq do you know if the gates failed or not? You on gate watch 24/7. EH!
