This is truly a pure shame. Whats interesting to me is that they don't understand why the driver couldn't see the train. Did he try to race it or was he not paying attention??/ I also noticed that there are no gates at this grade xing which sort of presents a problem, espually in the center of town it looks like. They need some adiqute protection there, because number 1 most people don't look before they cross the tracks anyway. Some people just decide to stop on the tracks also when traffic is backed up. What stupidity! These people are just laking common sence.

Any car that gets hit on a crossing deserves no sympathy.

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
