[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by techguy57 LC- Yeah, I heard about that on the radio on my way into work today. Hopefully it'll shed some light on the events a they actually happened (although as far as I'm concerned this was mostly the motorists at fault.) One quick question that I haven't heard throughout the coverage: Was this a "quiet zone"? Still, this got the railfan in me wondering: How many crossing does Homeland Security have cameras at and exactly why? I guess these would perhaps be considered " soft targets" but I'm unsure what the rationale would be for the funding of these cameras versus hiring more security personnel. And why did it take 4 days before anyone beside the government (I'm guessing they knew) heard that there was in fact a camera at the crossing. Of course I'd also like to know if they'd make the cameras accessible from the internet so I could wath the trains all day![:D] [/quote] TG - Sorry, but I don't know if this crossing was a quiet zone. Given the size of the crossing I would doubt it given the various measures required for a quiet zones would seem very difficult if not impossible to deploy with a large non-standard crossing such as the one in question. Perhaps one of the guys in the local area can advise? LC
