I was working up in Minn. a couple years ago. Can't remember the town name. College town around a lake, out in the middle of nowhere. Early fall so the weather was pretty nice. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/TA/ProgMgt/Grants/Sight_Eng.pdf Pretty simple. All the engineers have to do is carry this chart and turn it around for the train approach. If the train can't see 180 feet up the road or whatever the road speed, train speed, and traffic control device calls for the train needs to slow down to the sight distances that are there for the driver or the crossing cleared out. It's the right thing to do no matter what their robber baron bosses say. The FRA people need to be in jail for negilgient homicide for sitting track speeds without takeing traffic controls sight distances into account. The Officer on the Train dog and pony show is jury tampering---the Operation Lifesaver "dumb driver" propaganda is jury tampering. NEVER do they go after missing safety equipment or sight lines. Their checks come from the railroads so if the problems really got fixed they would be out of a job. Let ME and a few dozen others around the country show the cops what to look for instead of running a snail train 4 mph dareing people to violate crossing statutes when in fact the railroads are in violation for activateing the equipment longer than the 26 seconds needed. Like dropping a purse on the sidewalk and arresting whoever picked it up for purse snatching. 2 video cameras --- $1,000 2 Big Screen TVs --- $4,000 Crossing lights --- $80,000 or Tractor/Brush Hog $100,000 Bull-dozer $120,000 Chain saw $500.
