Well looky here.  The state of Nevada apparently does not follow the wisdom that says that if the authorities or the masses have not discovered a problem with a grade crossing installation, there must not be any problem with it.  <o:p></o:p> As a result of the 6/24 Amtrak/truck crash, Nevada DOT is conducting a statewide study of grade crossings which host fast trains and are situated on fast highways.  They are going to be looking at whether the advance warning is sufficient for grade crossings on 70 mph highways.  If they find that the advance warning is insufficient, they are going to consider adding more flashing lights to extend the warning.       <o:p></o:p> This article is a sort of composite of coverage of the news on this crash, so some of it is old news.  However, if you go down to about the middle of the first page where it says, “4:40 pm and evening update,” there is new information on how the state of Nevada is investigating their grade crossings on high-speed roads:    <o:p></o:p> <a href="http://www.rgj.com/article/20110630/NEWS/110630006/Amtrak%2Btrain%2Bcrash%2B%2BNevada%2Bcrossings%2Bto%2Bbe%2Binvestigated%2Bafter%2Breport%2Bof%2Bnear-miss%2B9%2Bmonths%2Bago">http://www.rgj.com/article/20110630/NEWS/110630006/Amtrak%2Btrain%2Bcrash%2B%2BNevada%2Bcrossings%2Bto%2Bbe%2Binvestigated%2Bafter%2Breport%2Bof%2Bnear-miss%2B9%2Bmonths%2Bago</a>
