Dear Ed, <br /> I am deeply saddend by your position and I sympathize with you as much as I can in regards to actually being involved in these collisions. It must be extremely painful to see first hand the apparent carelessness of some people in an attempt to "beat the train". I would like to address to you though the situations in which a crossing is known to be dangerous by the railroad in regards to sight distance,speed of train,etc. yet they do nothing about it. I know its hard to imagine but how many close calls have you had when you were driving your automobile and said Wow! that was close. Well there are grade crossing accidents that occur in this matter sometimes as a result of numerous things the railroad "COULD HAVE DONE" to make the crossing safer. This is my problem with "Operation Lifesaver" because of there self-interest, there take on that is its ALWAYS the drivers fault. Well that is far from THE TRUTH. Please consider the other side of the story and as an insider do something with this energy and concern you have for these crossings. The railroad has the ability to do something but because the government supports them on the position of doing nothing it makes it easy for them to look out for the precious "bottom line". Well its time for a wake up call to the industry. Who's side are you on; the multi-million dollar rail industry or the family who lost a son or daughter due to a HIGHLY preventable accident at a crossing?
