TROUBLE ON THE TRACKS

Everything is one sided when the railroad is involved. It's always the same, the trains go too fast, they blow too loud, they stop on grade crossings and make people wait bla bla bla. I get tired of the public's attitude towards us. The people where I'm from think that railroad employees are billionaires, and all we do is ride up and down the tracks from nine to five. Their view is so distorted, and their ignorance is unreal. The reason for many accidents is plain stupidity. You don't run stop signs at busy intersections, why is a grade crossing any different? In my opinion, the only unsafe crossings are those with limited sight distance or the ones blocked by trees-bushes ect. Otherwise there is no excuse for many of the accidents. Around here I think there is something in the water that makes people so dumb.
