BaltACD oltmannd The NTSB does good investigation work, but do they ever have a finding that doesn't recommend spending someone else's money? They should be required to do at least a cursory cost/benefit analysis of their recommendations. It's a wonder the just don't recommend the elimination of all highway road Xings... That would but too much $$$$ in the governmental sector to be spent on compliance.

From Trains Newswire: "The NTSB recommends that the Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration work together to revise the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for the installation of advance warning devices that specifically use the word “train” to indicate the preemption of highway traffic signals by an approaching train and preemption confirmation lights that would provide advance information on train movements to law enforcement and emergency responders.
