I live in Ont. Can.in a city of aboult 300 000 people. We are served by 3 railroads (2 Class ones, and 1 Short line),Operation Lifesaver is in full scream here,we have billboards on buses, roadsides,bus shelters,radio ads,and TV ads. That said,I drive a Shuttle Bus for a living, and I see all manner of R.R.crossing crimes in my travels EVERY DAY !!! WHY DO PEOPLE TAKE LIVES, SO FOR GRANTED ! ? I have also seen the very sad, bad results from such STUPIDITY .We also have train / noise regulations here, but as most of our train speeds are low near town,and our train crews are very observant, our fatalities are minimum...But I have also seen how LOUD LONG HORN BLASTS can avert disaster(with the hope that the stupid will learn in living another day)...IF ANYONE IN POWER LISTENS TO OUR COMMON SENSE PLEAS, HORNS WILL NOT BE SQUELCHED ANY MORE THAN THEY ARE!!!
