Let's see if I've got this right. You said,"I take responsibility for myself and always check for one". 99 percent of the motoring public do the same. "I don't race onto the tracks to see if the train is really there". 99 percent of the motoring public do the same. Problems arise when the engineer does NOT sound the horn - whether you want to admit it or not that does happen. Problems arise when the lights and or gates malfunction - assuming there are lights and gates. That too does happen. Problems arise when visibility is obscured by trees, bushes AND the railroads little silver building. Those things happen too. All the motoring public asks is for the train to let us know you are coming. We will gladly stay out of the way. Yes, there are those who go around the gates, but don't label all of us just because there are some who do. Too many times I've SEEN and heard from others how the railroad comes in AFTER a fatality accident and cuts down all the trees and bushes AND moves the little building across the tracks to the other side because it was obscuring the sight distance down the track. You obviously don't know what it feels like to live with the knowledge every day for the rest of your life that your loved one would most likely still be alive IF the crossing had had gates before the accident instead of after, and IF all the sight obstructions had been removed before the accident rather than after. I truly pray that you never have to join the ranks of us that do.
