[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie If the police ride the locomotives and get license numbers - which in itself cannot be the easiest thing to do (moving car/moving train) can they send them a ticket? Can't very well jump off to write one. Then you get into politics - ACLU/ State Gov - can you legally cite them and it can only be under restricted circumstances, etc. etc. And the fine is a joke. The whole thing becomes a big red tape issue and I have another headache! Make the crossings signaled and gated like ours are and then make the people or the survivors accountable for the actions. You go around and get injured or killed - you pay the railroad. You were tresspassing! Tough Tinkertoy! [/quote] I very much agree about the "You go around . . . You were tresspassing! As Carl said the stop signs or stop lights at every crossing might help. I think there must be an end to lawsuits against the railroad when the crossing is signaled. I also think the railroad should go after the driver and his/her insurance company to pay for the damage to the loco (if any) and for the pain and suffering of the crew. If there is not a law on the books about the above item, then cities, states, and the federal government should enact them.
