I happen to hate attorneys but since you think your king pin of the board contact the OLI/ex-Highway Patrol Commander in Ohio that he really should be pushing for occupied crossing equipment at active crossings. Ohio had 24 collisions in Jan. and Feb. 1 death and 14 injuries according to FRA. Turns out at least 3 of the collisions at active crossings in Ohio in two months the drivers were not trying to beat the train at all but were actually stranded across the tracks. I can show the attorney generals how video monitors work where the train crews can see the crossing in advance if he wants. http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/Pre_96/September95/520.txt.html plus show him/her how the railroads cook the books on safety equipment. 6 collisions at gated crossings (at least 3 had stranded vehicles) 1 collision at a crossing with lights 17 at passive crossings (70%) I think on 3 or 4 the railroads actually failed to yield on the yard trains. Too bad you didn't have the 7 active crossing collisions with all stalled vehicles, icy roads, or failed crossing equipment on the police accident reports.
