Dave, While most train/railfans would prefer not to read about somebody blasting through the grade xings, putting camers at every one of them is not only impractical but cost prohibitive as I doubt the railroads want to be responsible for that since it's not their fault people try to beat the train. There are already programs where troopers ride the cabs and call to other troopers to issue citations in these instances. There is little or no effect since we keep reading about another loser in a hurry to get somewhere. This 'guy' in CA is a little more off the deep end than most but cameras wouldn't have prevented what happened. Sorry to burst your balloon (I've had what I thought was a good idea shot down in here too). But I'm with you when it comes to being disgusted with people trying to beat a train. I'd rather watch it instead. So what if I'm late.
