http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/media/twgreport.htm#663 See just lights is only good for train speeds of 25 mph. Check out the fatalities this year. The trains were all going over 40 mph when they broadsided the drivers. Anything less than 40 and the trains were broadsided at dark crossings. The railroads can repair the roads on their own damn property like anybody else. Their gross overcharges OR being paid at all takes away from active crossing equipment. Take the two together and Iowa pisses the funds into the railroads pocket every year and get NOTHING accomplished safety wise.
