Mud, Thanks for the clarification on the rules. I got to talking with our senior traffic enforcement guy... his attitude was "Don't you have better things to do than watch trains?" I stifled the original urge to say, "Well, uh... nope." (Everyone may now stifle the urge to suggest I Get a Life.) The prevalent attitude with the folks I've talked to is that some departments measure a cop's performance by seeing how many tickets they can write. Sounds like you ran across an LAPD type who was on the down side that day. (PS it's not a "quota" it's a "work performance evaluation feature") To return to the original thread, tho, surely the railroads must have some kind of lobby group that watches issues like this. Safety issues must have some kind of economic impact on the community... in terms of delay of delivery, public safety expenses, railroad crossing upgrades... NS and Columbus, Georgia, just got finished building an overpass over their main line which most folks love because it gets them into the center of town faster. (I think it's big enough to allow stack containers under it, but there are clearance problems elsewhere on the line.) Erik
