m1ashooter- I don't disagree that reflective tape is a good idea. My point is simply that when the government mandates it, it becomes a tool for the lawyers. Sort of makes the case for railroads to do these things voluntarily, doesn't it? Also, you couldn't be more right about the silence of a rolling car. Stand in any yard where they're kicking cars and watch. Then, in a safe spot, please, close your eyes and just TRY to tell when a car is getting close to you. Good luck. If you were standing between the rails, the car might very well hit you before you heard it. I think you know this as well as I do, but it's well worth repeating for all those folks out there who haven't had any real experience in railroading. Anyway, sorry to hear that you had a career-changing incident. In my experience, it's usually not the guy that screwed up that gets hurt, it's someone else. I suspect that you were the "someone else". My best to you. J.D. Nomad
