[quote user="zugmann"] [quote user="Bucyrus"] In a very general sense, I perceive that grade crossings seem to have an unusual magnetism for attracting crashes.  So I ask why that is the case. [/quote] What do you mean by this?  it's like saying banks have an unusual magnetism for attracting robberies.  Where else are you going to have train-car crashes? <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote]     Zugmann, Please allow me to clarify. I was referring to “crashes” meaning all crashes in general, including those involving vehicles as well as those involving vehicles and trains.  Specifically, the apt comparison would be trains and vehicles compared to vehicles meeting at intersections. When you apply what I said about magnetism to banks robberies, this would be the analogy: Of all types of robberies, it seems that banks have a sort of magnetism for robberies.  In that case, we know that the explanation is that banks are relatively lucrative robbery targets.  I believe that there is also an explanation for the magnetism of grade crossings attracting crashes.
