Ed, <br />No offense but you took what I said and totally twisted it around. I never said any thing about bicycles. I also never said the rail road was the one to pay for all this. I realize that DOT and taxpayers also need to play a bigger part in the cost to upgrade cossings. If you noticed I said people don't like to spend money on things not immediatly affecting them. I did not say "the railroad" A matter of fact I did not even have the railroad in mind when I made that comment. So don't twist my words please. I also did note that there are people that go around the gates, did I not??? So how did you manage to call turn that into I blame the railroad for all the accidents??? <br />Did I not also say that we need the railroads and the railroads need us? What you call a attack was simply trying to clarify some things that you avoided all together. All you did was turn things around and not answer any of my questions. If you never have worked for the railroad why are you spending so much time on this site. Why is it that people who are infatuated with the railroad can come on here and voice there opinions and concers when some one that has concerns and questions can't? I will be the first one to admit there are alot of things I do not understand about how railroads operate. I was asking honest questions but instead of answering my questions to help inform me you just insult me. You know I do think a human life is worth alot. I am concerned with all kinds of issues. So what if I have a personal interest with crossing. It should not matter what my personal interest. The fact is I am not "against the railroad" it is not me vs. them. Do you think I am that stupid. I know how powerful the railroad industry is. They could stomp me in a heart beat. I am for everyone-Public people, local state and federal government and railroad all work together to improve public safety. Not only at the cossings themselves but also in education and yes I am still sticking by the unbiased education. I also know that trains can not stop on a dime. I am not saying that they don't blow their whistles I am not blaming conductors for any thing. What I am say is it would be nice to make them safer for everyone by every one. I am sorry if you misinterpreted my post. You mention going around the tracks well where I live the tracks go through town and there is not way around them. We have no underpasses no alternate ways around them so it is not like we have a choice. Not every one has a choice. Believe me if I had a alternate route to take I would. And as for your neglegent drivers there you are attacking people when not all of them had the agenda to get across the tracks in a hurry. That makes you just as bad as me or any one else that may blame the rail road for all the deaths (which I did not) You don't like it when the railroad is blamed for all the deaths and people don't like it when they are always blames either. It goes both ways. No offense. <br />
