the way i read this is that the 5 major railroads killed 1 person at a crossing. that is only 5 deaths for all last year. your own words missouri. now if you take for the up killing one person after going 186 mil miles that is great i bet they wi***he saftey record was better than that. I wonder why misouri and mike dont get upset at the number of animals killed per day ( which is more than the number killed in a year) deer rabbit dogs cats opposuims skunks horses birds . i guess they are not as important. and some of them get hit at crossings to. while we are blowing and the lights are on and the gates are down. they didnt stop look and listen. oh well tomorrow is another day.

Who really cares? Those who go around crossing gates when down deserve their fate.
