<br />[quote]QUOTE: Tell me ---your in a string of 50 moveing cars approaching a light on the opposite side of the tracks ---Where are you going to end up if car 17 <br />say is caught by the light? [/quote] <br /> <br />HUH??? what the heck does that have to do with the price of Oil in lebinon? <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: The crossing lights are supposed to be tied in with the traffic lights if you didn't know any better [/quote] <br /> <br />In Canada.. they are.. they should be in the USA... <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: . Also the crossing equipment is to be timed longer and anything over 45 seconds median barriers put in. [/quote] <br /> <br />Sentance fragment. makes absolutely no logical sense what is stated above. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: Can you tell me where the 200 sets of crossing lights went to when the trench project opened up out there?[/quote] <br /> <br />most likely nothing happened to them <br /> <br /> [quote]QUOTE: Quaranteed they were stolen by the railroad and sold back to the state, sold out of country, or used for spare parts.[/quote] <br /> <br />Proof needed. Sounds stupid.. whod steal RR lights? What is this.. this sounds more like a familiar movie plot from "Traffic" <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br /> The equipment wasn't theirs to take. Tracks are abandoned and the RR goes in and takes the equipment-[/quote] <br /> <br />didn't likely happen. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: The tax-payers paid for it at <b><font color="red"> 5x</font id="red"> </b> its real value if the truth was known. [/quote] <br /> <br />I serioualy doubt missouri that you work for GE, or Westinghouse. and you don't know the price of a bell, 2 flashing lights, a metalic stick, a red X and a few shunts, plus or minus 8 hours work for installing these things. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <font color="red">[i] <br />The time sequence here ---At <b>27</b> seconds the car LEGALLY entered the crossing-At <b>26</b> seconds the first light blinked while the car was still Legally in the crossing area-at <b>24</b> seconds the gate started down at <b>22</b> seconds the car Legally passed the gate exiting the crossing. [/quote]</font id="red">[i] <br /> <br />Notice all the time is correct on the RR lights.. i factored all this in.. either you guys have tracks that are 35 feet wide, the crossing itself is 60 feet wide.. or the car was moving at 2.7 mph BASED on missouris Statement. <br /> <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: Either that or it was staged which happens all the time also[/quote]. <br /> <br />STAGED.. now you are full of trash.. SANM antonio's ABC 9 did not stage that.. if you can read.
