RAILCAR SAFETY REFLECTOR LIABILITY

I don't doubt that the reflector material is high performance, but overall, the warning is still bound to be hit and miss. And a hit and miss warning is worse than no warning when it misses. <br /> <br />Motorists grown accustomed to night trains looking like a string of illuminated pearls will ba caught off guard if a train does not display them. Certainly that would be the legal argument if they hit the train. <br /> <br />Isn't it possible that all of the reflectors on a train could be obscured by a coating of snow? <br /> <br />I would think that a freight car should be considered to be bad order if the reflectors are not functioning perfectly, since they are a federally mandated safety device. How can it be otherwise?
