Andrew or his CPU may have had a little too much Christmas cheer. Hope he reposts. (missing a hotlink?)
KP: Fortunately, Federal rule trumps local good-'ol-boy rule.
Andrew Falconer (12-25):
“Have to”? I disagree.
Of course, it is not clear what you are trying to say. Repost-saying it another way would be helpful.
At Kearney, NE on Union Pacific triple-track mainline, the key grade crossing goes directly into a downtown area (left), where a grade separation is NOT possible.
Interestingly, that grade crossing is a “Quiet Zone” one. The lower photo just above has a triple-flashing sign on a pole (left) that alerts engineers not to blow their horn.
Take care,
K.P.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K.P.’s absolute “theorem” from early, early childhood that he has seen over and over and over again: Those that CAUSE a problem in the first place will act the most violently if questioned or exposed.
All of the city managers who would like to have quiet zones through their cities have to build the roads on overpasses to eliminate all the road crossings.
It is much safer than the practice of having the horns not activated, yet still have the grade crossing.
