I think the worst case of suing a railroad has happened close to where i live. We have a shortline here in Upstate NY here and the whole RR is 27 miles long and the whole thing is restricted speed-yard limits. Every crossing on the line is a stop and protect. The train was pulling up to the crossing and stopped. The conductor got off and flagged the crossing gave the engineer a go ahead and the train started rolling again. The locomotive was occupying the crossing when a car came over the hill and hit the side of the engine. There was a 35MPH speed limit 150' before the crossing and the lady hit the side of the engine at 52 MPH. Her skidmarks were 71' long.(you do the math) All the brush within 300' either side of the crossing was cut 3 weeks prior. When the EMT's got there her radio was at half volume, she had tinted windows all around the car, and her AC was on. Railroads fault or the drivers. Either way the family of the driver is sueing the railroad and looks like they are gonna win.
