The proposal to slow down Antioch expess service from 70 mph to 30 mph may be pragmatic politics, but it is poor common sense. It will send a message that certain Metra trains go "too fast" and my fear is it will set a precedent for other crossings that could be made safer with better signalling -- and of course rational drivers. As was mentioned above, our Chicago-area commuter trains are so popular BECAUSE they go fast enough between intermediate stations to be faster than rush-hour commuting by car.
