[quote user="CNW 6000"] There certainly was commentary on this letter.  If you follow the link below you'll read what I and others said about this.<a href="http://forums.thenorthwestern.com/viewtopic.php?t=14234">http://forums.thenorthwestern.com/viewtopic.php?t=14234</a> [/quote]In the discussion in this link, "Investigator" makes a big point about crossbusks being equivalent to yield signs, and it is true that you can't yield to something you can't see.  So, in that framework, the argument about black tank cars being hard to see has validity.  But the argument collapses when you introduce the stop sign, which this crossing had.  Stop signs are equivalent to yield signs with the added requirement to stop.  You have to stop no matter whether there is something to yield to or not.  Furthermore, stop signs usually have advance warning signs, so they give you time to react.The discussion sure demonstrates how the FRA reflector mandate feeds right into society's growing "it's not my fault" culture.
