[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by theNomad I can just see the headline now: "Railroad Guilty of Negligence in Grade Crossing Death". (Like we haven't seen that one before!) And why? Because there wasn't enough reflective tape on a few cars, or it was covered with graffiti. I know that these rules and regulations are made with the best of intentions, but I think all too often they just create income opportunities for slimeball lawyers. J.D. Nomad [/quote] JD- Just as you suspect, the issue of visibility has already been litigated many times. I know of at least one case where a car drove under a haz mat (propane) tanker and took out the brake rigging. The tank car and others in the train were black, but had already been equipped with reflective tape. Didn't stop the crash. Nor did it stop the plaintiff from claiming the cars were "invisible"... LC
