I WORK FOR A MAJOR RAILROAD AS A SIGNAL MTR I HAVE 2 XINGS INTERCONNECTED WITH STOP LIGHTS. HAD THIS XING HAD BEEN INTERCONNECTED WITH THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL THE XING APPROACHES WOULD BE LONGER WHICH MEANS MORE WARNING TIME.ALSO WHEN THE XING GATES START TO FLA***HE TRAFFIC SIGNAL TURNS GREEN TO LET THE CARS OF THE XING. EVEN WHEN THE GATES ARE DOWN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT STAYS GREEN TO LET CARS CLEAR OF THE XING BEFORE THE TRAIN GETS THERE. READING ALL OF THE NEWS REPORTS I READ THAT THE CITY OF HOMEWOOD WAS TOLD TO INTERCONNECT THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS WITH THE XING GATES ALOT OF TOWNS AND CITIES DID THIS AFTER THE FOX RIVER GROVE CRASH.
