[quote user="tdmidget"] ... then you must be prepared to stop and if that means slowing down, then you must do so. [/quote] (My emphasis added to quote by TDM) If a crossing has limited visibility down the tracks, and is not signalized, then being prepared to stop might require slowing down.  However those conditions do not apply to the Nevada crash crossing.  There is no need to slow down there in order to be prepared to stop.  Assuming that a driver is not distracted, there is ample time for a 70 mph vehicle to stop within that final 900 ft. straight approach if a train is approaching, no matter whether the signals are working or not.  So there is not a need to slow down in anticipation of the need to stop.
