Erik- <br /> <br />You are jumping to conclusions based upon the summary of a legal decision. Regulations such as the vegetation statute in question were never intended to create a private right of action against railroads. Regulations of this type should be and in most cases are similar to FRA regulations that do not create aq private right of action. This case is an example of what plaintiff's lawyers do when railroads (NS in particular) start mounting cameras and recording equipment on trains which keeps plaintiff's from claiming "the Engineer didn't blow the horn in time" or, "I didn't go around the gates" when there is videotape that shows it happening. This is an example of bad law that will cause problems for years to come. <br /> <br />LC
