Do I really need to go over the "SOO Line 4-6-2 hauling the North Dakota local" bit again? I really don't think so--you've all heard it a half million times anyway. But I disagree with Ms. Moore: I believe crossing accidents have gone up. And as many others have said, the railroad usually was the one granitng the rights to build a crossing anyway. And just out of curiosity, what exactly is a "good" crossing? Let me go on a little brain storming session here: 1.) Flashing red searchlights, warning drivers up to three miles away. 2.) Crossings activated by trains within thirteen miles. 3.) Three foot thick cinder-block gates which swing shut, providing no means of going around the crossing. 4.) The destruction of all vegitation within a two mile radius of a crossing. 5.) The abolition of railways. Now let's use a litle common sense here. The only one of those sarcastic comments which could be used was increasing the area of the crossing signal activator, providing more warning time. I would support this, but on the other hand it would provide more incentive for some drivers to run crossings. See you around the forums, Daniel
