Has anyone recently looked at www.operationlifesaver.com? A lot of your answers can be found there. OL began in 1972-interesting. <br />Operation Lifesaver is a public service program which is very available to those who request it. There is the education answer to the first part of the original post. <br /> <br />Ticketing a crossing incident violator is effective only if there is a survivor. <br /> <br />Patrolmen riding in the lead engines? This was recently done in Wichita (UP) for survey purposes. Not sure of the results. <br /> <br />Highway crews maintaining crossing equipment? Having trouble now just maintaining and repairing roadways. Don't need extra responsibilities. <br /> <br />In my area, BNSF has posted "STOP, Private RR Crossing" signs at all non-signaled/non-lighted rural crossings. <br /> <br />I feel that the education and signaling and signage is out there, it is just up to the individual vehicle operator to be responsible enough for his/her own actions. Granted it is unfortunate for the innocent victim. For them, I have no answer. <br /> <br />Also, the crew of the locomotive have this to live with for the rest of their lives as earlier mentioned. <br /> <br />Just my opinion, <br /> <br />Roland
