Unfortunately, light rail and commuter rail accidents are not confined to Charlotte or anywhere else.  This week a Capital Metro Red Line commuter train (Stadler Railcar) hit a motorist in northwest Austin.  The driver, a early thirties father, was killed, and his two children were hurt badly. The motorist was using an unprotected private road crossing.  A witness said that the engineer sounded his horn shortly before reaching the crossing, but for undetermined reasons the driver ignored it, did not hear it, and probably did not see the train. What is it that causes many people (seemingly) to challenge a train at a crossing?  It got so bad in north Texas that the Trinity Railway Express had to elevate a significant portion of the track through Irving, Texas because of so many accidents, a few of which were fatal.
