"Most states have laws which specifiy the minimum crossing-signal warning time given to motorists and pedestrians, usually 20 to 30 seconds, before a train occupies the crossing. What all motorists should know is that at all grade crossings, the train has the right of way as stated in a 1934 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court." That's actually a Federal statute that says lights/gates are to give 20 seconds warning--- whoops I forgot the gates are to be down 5 seconds before the train arrives now since the crooks covered the RRs butts lately. Maybe the Secretary of Transportation and his Supreme Court buddies can get in their wheelchairs at a three track crossing and demonstrate on Network T.V. just exactly how bright they are. The T.V. industry changed from flat lead cable to shielded coaxial cable because the flat lead (railroad track) was bad to pick up outside interference. Is that why the RRs still use the tracks as a transmitting antenna because the metal in them will see lightning, electrical interference, bad spark plugs, rust, what was it oh yeah soy beans spilt in Bourbonnais after the Amtrak crashed so the gates didn't see the train. And what does that salt and snow do? Look up the crossing systems in Europe that use 4 beeper frequiencies (shielded) so there is a back up or two not the Oh the equipment failed quick hide the smokin' gun which happens all the time according to the crossing EXPERTS I have talked to.
