Ed, I do not work for the railroad I hope you do not mind me making a suggestion. Here in Illinios Operation Lifesaver has been working very close with State and Locale officials to identify those crossing's that are more frequently abused by gate runner's. They have come up with some simple and inexpencive idea's. One of the most simplest was to install inexpensive lane deviders to keep peaple from getting into the other lane to drive around gates. Another idea was to simply insall 4 crossing gates instead of 2 (2 on each side of the track). They have also installed stop sign's at several crossing's. In Mundeline Ill. they have installed air horns on the gate crossing poles in an effort to direct the noise of the horn more toward the automotive driver. All of these idea's have been helped along by Operation Lifesaver. Let me state one more time I do not work for the railroad, I hope I have not UPSET anyone. <br /> TIM ARGUBRIGHT
