[quote user="zugmann"] <blockquote> <div><img src="/TRCCS/Themes/trc/images/icon-quote.gif" /> Bucyrus:</div> <div></div> That is understandable, but if they do, who's fault is it? <div style="clear:both;"></div>   </blockquote> My feeling it is STILL the driver's fault, but I guess the courts get to settle that stuff out. I just rather not get into the whole situation to begin with....  hence my favor of reflectors. [/quote] I agree with you that it would be the driver’s fault.  My only objection is to the FRA saying that trains can be hard to see at night, which has to mean that the driver is not entirely at fault.  When you have the entire industry, its advocacy groups, the law, and even railfans drawing the clear line in the sand about the fault for grade crossing crashes, it amazes me that the FRA would contradict that position.  <o:p></o:p> What the FRA should have said as justification for the reflectors is this:  Motorists are not always paying attention to their driving, so the reflectors might help attract their attention to the presence of a train.
