Major highway slick with all kinds of sight obstructions so if you slow down SLOW enough to see FAR enough your going to get creamed from the rear. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/TA/ProgMgt/Grants/Sight_Eng.pdf So the train was speeding for the sight distances given the kids. And you can take the whistles and throw them in the ocean with todays stereo systems, road noise, insulated vehicles, etc... Failsafe system failed. Plain and simple. And why should we be paying $150,000 for a junk piece of equipment? Europe uses a 4 code system so there are 4 back ups. The junk we have a coat of rust gets on the tracks and the train isn't detected. Salt is put on the snow at a crossing causeing a dead short between the rails and the gates start doing there daily exercises. Up 1,2,3...down 1,2,3,... over and over with no trains around somebody comes around a corner and the gates are up about the same time the train arrives. Was the gate working? Well yeah but not when it needed to be. <br /> <br />
