Let's see OLI guy. The crossing in Florida has 55,000 vehicles a day and the train approaches at 60 mph just asking for trouble. Ask the employees that hit another truck in 2000 at the same crossing. <br /> <br />Ask the crossing equipment experts who say the NTSB completely covered up the gate failure in Bourbonnais. The state of Illinois found the gates failed. The train engineer didn't see the truck go around. The only person that said the truck went around was the track supervisor who now has a kush job with the signal company. <br /> <br />Fox River was caused by the crossing lights not being interconnected with the traffic lights and the bus was trapped which 3 or 4 people a month get caught in the same trap. <br /> <br />The one in Oregon ---Wasn't that where the fire chief showed up and it was his family. The train was going full steam ahead with the approaches to every crossing in the state iced up. Like how hard could it be to take a maintenance truck and blow out some cinders or sand BEFORE the train comes through. They turned around and killed more people the next winter the same way. <br /> <br />So your new message should be "WHERE THE HELL IS THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT!!"
