As crazy as that sounds, up near my grandparents house in Ames, IA, they have considered doing just that! There is about 5-6 crossings in a 1/2 to a one mile stretch. The UP was talking about hooking up sensors triggered by the locomotive to automatically blow for all of the crossings, thus giving the engineers a break through town. I don't know if they have installed those or left them on the drawing board. But I know that lately when trains go through, it sounds just like any other crossing. I thought the same as you did at first, but then it started to make some sense. It allows the train to fly through without blowing for any crossings. I know that it sucks, but it would not suprise me to see this happen.
