[quote user="Murphy Siding"] Awe come on-  you're drifting into conspiracy theorist territory when you start making statements like that.  <img src="/TRCCS/emoticons/icon_smile_blackeye.gif" alt="Black Eye" /> [/quote] No I don’t think so.  It is not going out on a limb to question the NTSB statement at this point.  Even they allow that it may be incorrect at this preliminary point.  If the question of crossing visibility were truly settled, the state of Nevada would not be asking it themselves as a result of the crash.  The exact language the NTSB uses could simply mean that there is an unobstructed view to the crossing.  Or it could mean that the activated signals have the ability to be seen for over one mile in a straight line, but not necessarily around the 30-degree bend.  Two other authoritative sources gave two sight distances more clearly stated as being to the activated crossing signals.   And moreover, those two sources differ from each other, and differ from the NTSB statement.  So until the NTSB tightens up their statement, I will wait to find out what they really mean.
