Ever notice Mike how all the Operation Lifesaver people are all on the payrolls for the railroads, FRA, State DOTs, or some kinda safety council? Heck they even get railroad retirement. No way they are scream for the millions in missing safety equipment.Then you have the railroads actually paying some of the goof balls (attorneys acting like RR employees) on here to come up with it's the dumb drivers fault or dumb trespasers fault when the railroads ALWAYS are found at fault in court. Like the guy saying all the equipment is paid for by the railroads. Railroads don't pay diddly and make a small fortune in overcharges on what they do put in. Takes a low life to kill somebody then overcharge on the equipment that should have been in place to start with. ----- Original Message ----- From: pino40 To: seebergerj@akrr.com ; rroprsmgr@aol.com ; jillwaldrip@hotmail.com ; caol@foothill.net ; leeann.preece@fra.dot.gov ; robert.alexander@bnsf.com ; cunninl@amtrak.com ; dand@railcan.ca ; lindap@railcan.ca ; state@cool.org ; jeannett@ci.arvada.co.us ; kenneth.gambardella@po.state.ct.us ; mbinder@wmata.com ; gary.fitzpatrick@dot.state.fl.us ; kathleen.bowen@dot.state.fl.us ; gaol@mindspring.com ; cjarvas@up.com ; cpew@icc.state.il.us ; kinserinol@prodigy.net ; IOWA4OL@MCHSI.com ; cbrunson@ksdot.org ; wesleyross@alltel.net ; betseywilliams@msn.com ; jelancasterpe@juno.com ; mdolinc@suscom.net ; whallene@pwrr.com ; ken_gilsdorf@csx.com ; langer@mnsafetycouncil.org ; missoplifsvr@aol.com ; rick@mooneyconsulting.com ; hoghead@aboutmontana.net ; sjungck@nque.com ; gentr@nsawc.navy.mil ; lymanc@shcnh.org ; todd.hirt@dot.state.nj.us ; frederick.friedman@nmshtd.nm.state.us ; scorwin@infoblvd.net ; ncolsbridges@aol.com ; kimberlyh@ndsc.org ; oplifeohio@aol.com ; OKOL@swbell.net ; oraoli@worldnet.att.net ; tgarvie@dot.state.pa.us ; RIOL@cox.net ; cowen_j@bellsouth.net ; connie@southdakotasafetycouncil.org ; jilltnol@earthlink.net ; txol@hot.rr.com ; chiefbb@msn.com ; provo.vkeeslar@email.state.ut.us ; > ; steilert@netzero.net ; bboston@wutc.wa.gov ; jonper@wcgnet ; james.tracey@dot.state.wi.us ; statecoordinator@mail.wyomingoperationlifesaver.com ; Ghall@oli.org ; alolsvr@aol.com ; vtxxing@aol.com ; ibaldwin@psc.state.wv.us Sent: Friday, May 16, 2003 6:23 AM Subject: It really gets old ...Senek said 46 percent of all railroad crossing crashes happen when the crossing gates and lights are in operation... It really gets old seeing you all downplay the importance of safety equipment. Hey Mr. Senek how about putting per traffic volumn on this statement. It still comes down to gates prevent 9 out of 10 collisions and lights 8 out of 10 collisions. I don't care how you cook the figures. Why wasn't you raising heck "WHERE'S THE MEDIAN BARRIERS?" or "WHERE THE HECK IS THE VIDEO CAMERA ON THE TRAIN THAT PROVES ANYBODY WENT AROUND ANYTHING?" or "WHY THE HECK WAS THE TRAIN GOING THROUGH AT 80 MPH? Are you jury tampering by blameing the driver when you have absolutely no evidence????????????? A person can beat a train on steam roller IF they can see it comeing. Mr. Senek why didn't the lady see the train??? Would the retirement funds have paid for the missing median barriers? EMPLOYER STATUS DETERMINATION Ohio Operation Lifesaver This is the decision of the Railroad Retirement Board regarding the continued status of the Ohio Operation Lifesaver, as an employer under the Railroad Retirement Act (45 U.S.C. § 231, et seq.) (RRA) and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. § 351, et seq.) (RUIA). Ohio Operation Lifesaver was held to be a covered employer effective June 24, 1986, in Legal Opinion L-87-21 (B.A. Number 7325). Its purpose is to serve, educate, and inform the general public about highway/railroad grade crossing laws and to promote highway/railroad grade crossing safety throughout the state of Ohio in an effort to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities. It has one employee. Formerly, one-half of its board of directors consisted of representatives of the four railroads that funded Ohio Operation Lifesaver.1 Consequently, Ohio Operation Lifesaver was held to be under common control with two or more railroad employers. Effective December 10, 2002, the bylaws of Ohio Operation Lifesaver changed so that the board of directors is now composed of thirteen voting members, of which seven are from non-railroad organizations. Section 202.11 of the Board’s regulations provides that: The employer status of any company or person shall terminate whenever such company or person loses any of the characteristics essential to the existence of an employer status. A majority of the Board finds that through the change in its bylaws and composition of its board of directors, Ohio Operation Lifesaver is no longer under common control with two or more railroad employers. Accordingly, a majority of the Board holds that Ohio Operation Lifesaver ceased to be an employer under the Railroad Retirement and Railroad Unemployment Insurance Acts effective with the close of business on December 10, 2002.
