Hi, <br />First of all I would like to say that I am not another Missouri. And if you're out there Missouri, please do not respond to this. This is actually the first new topic I've posted. With all the recent talk of railroad crossings and the total idiots who drive through them I was reminded of something I saw in the July issue of The Railway Magazine (it's British so I don't imagine many of you out there read it). There was a picture showing a new type of railroad crossing being used in Russia that prevents people from driving around gates. A section of the road (perhaps 2 feet in length? that runs right across the width of the road) tilts up at about an appoximately 45 degree angle when a train goes by with the raised end facing drivers. This seems like a rather ingenious idea, but I would tend to think it would probably be more complicated and expensive when compared to installing double gates. I was wondering what others out there think about this idea. Perhaps the Russians have something? <br />
