I live in Arlington, TX, near Fort Worth. Here the main rail road that goes though town is the Union Pacific. In seventeen years living here I haven't heard of a grade crossing accident. Believe me, there are several in the city. They cross double track main lines. At one point they even cross four tracks that is part of a yard for the General Motors assembly plant in Arlington. One thing they do here is time all the traffic lights for two to three blocks so that all the lights turn red in the lanes that cars would cross the tracks when the train is going through. This minimises the number of cars that can sit at the crossing. I know this is done on the buisiest streets in town. Honestly I'd rather sit at the crossing to wave at the crews as they go by. After reading the posts by the engineers here, I will give you a salute and say keep up the good work you all do! You guys have one of the toughest jobs around! <br /> <br />Terry
