Ed this bein in your back yard and all. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/TA/ProgMgt/Grants/Sight_Eng.pdf Before UP clear cuts the area. The shoulda been sight distances to compare to what was there. Pinehurst man is in critical condition at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston after his vehicle collided with a train Wednesday afternoon in southwest Montgomery County and he was transported via LifeFlight helicopter to the hospital. Wayne Lamont, 47, was exiting a Pinehurst trailer park on Friday Lane when he attempted to cross the railroad track running parallel with FM 1774. Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Mike McAnarney said Lamont "failed to yield at the stop sign" posted near the track and ran into the southbound train. Wayne was the only person in the car. DPS officers did not report any other factors that may have caused the accident, but a group of Lamont's neighbors and friends said the thick foliage and lack of crossing guards make the crossing more dangerous than necessary. "How many accidents are going to have to happen until something is done about this?" several trailer park residents asked. Park resident John Munoz said the accident is the fourth one at the same location since he moved in two years ago. Other residents said it is the third one this year. McAnarney said the most recent accident he investigated at the location was approximately six months ago. Employees of Union Pacific Railroad were present at the scene but declined comment and referred questions to a headquarters in Omaha where no one was available for comment. DPS officials said the Texas Department of Transportation is responsible for installing crossing guards.
