Recently in my paper they did a story on cars crosing grades while a train was coming. This is in Akron ohio(rubber city) 30+ cars at one location. Well I decided to see why. Well i drove they down and saw the gate were talking s on about. It's on a heavily traveled four lane road. What surprised me was there were no gates, just crossing bucks and lights. I looked around and drove past it a couple times. Because of the many store signs littering the road the signal were hard to find. Then I noticed that on a rural two lane road had gates on it. then a block over just crossbucks at the bottom of a dip, hard to see. <br /> <br />So my question is who decides on what style of signals is used at a crossing. Why the inconsistencies? The line in question is the wheeling and lake erie a shortline. The only other railroad around is csx and they have gates at all their crossings. <br />Andy
