[:)] We wish you many more. [;)] About that road 10 feet from the tracks, which was there first? Of course there is no way the railroad could enforce a 100 foot rule in that situation. You have seen pictures of freight trains going down the center of a road. This is happening less and less all the time because railroads are doing everything they can't to get out of the street. I wonder how many engineers had heart attacks over street running? Where I live there is a road within about 15 feet of the tracks, there is a hill on either side. People, including those getting out of school, walk along these tracks all the time. This is a fairly busy mainline from North Little Rock to Fort Smith and there are a bunch of coal trains using it. I have never seen an accident there yet. Just up from this spot is another road called Railroad Avenue. Alot of people walk the tracks there. And just up from this the land becomes higher than the tracks, this is where the kids throw rocks at the engines. The U P Railroad Police keep an eye on this area. The trains on this line are either coming out of or going into the yard or crossing the river bridge into Little Rock, so they are going slow. Railroads will never be able to stop all foot traffic on their tracks or R O W. People will jump a fence if they have to to take a shortcut through the railroad property. You can't blame them for trying, it is their track, their r o w , and their eqiupment.
