[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by StillGrande</i> <br /><br />Personally, I think that stupid people will find a way to be stupid. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> I couldn't agree more. This story received all sorts of press down here for the past couple of days. I was very impressed that there wasn't any sort of negativity toward Amtrack or the trackowners, Union Pacific. The funny thing is that a few months prior to this collision, the same news channels were covering a similar story. The Grand Prairie Police and the Arlington Police Departments set up for a day long high enforcement event and were catching people running the crossing lights and arms every time a train went through. <br /> <br /> I just can't see that a "safe crossing" would have prevented this collision. If I were an engineer I think it'd be great laying on the horn for minutes in advance of the crossing...just to annoy the locals[:)]
