Damage Control
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, May 19, 2003 11:50 PM
The railroads must pay their idle attorneys, which they have googles on retainer, to come on here and cover up for them. I've never seen so much misinformation in my life.

Railroads pay for crossing protection -- Yeah RIGHT and elephants fly.

Private property owners are suppose to trespasss and go on railroad property and clean it up for them at crossings and install signs. Truth is private crossings require NO signs and the 4th grade educated track foreman that just sticks any sign in WITHOUT any kind of traffic engineering training can actually make a sight obstructed crossing more deadly.

Trains whistle at private crossings. What garbage these clowns put out.

http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/TA/ProgMgt/Grants/Sight_Eng.pdf Either the sight lines are at the crossings or there not===Plain and simple. If the train crews do not report sight obstructions EVERY one of them that has been across the crossing for the prior 3 years should be sued for negligient homicide and their bosses hung for concealing evidence.

I'm personally asking everybody in this forum not to reply to Missouri's posts. His intentions are to get a rise out of us (which I have been guilty of participating). Let's not give him the satisfaction. He insults our craft and other crafts of a noble trade. Thanks everybody!

Maybe Kev and Ed should sic their cats on him. Then he will be so busy cleaning up the mess that he won't have time to clutter up our forum.

dear clown
first of all if there was a problem i saw on a railline it wouldn't take 3 yrs. to fix it.I would be with gov't boards and officials to see that the problem got corrected.so may i suggest that you get off your lazy butt and leave us hard working people alone.I look at this forum to help people with what I can so my suggestion is quit whinning and get to work.
stay safe
joe

Just get me a address. I even have a six foot, 45 lbs boa constrictor, who travels well. She is allways hungry.
Maby Kev's cat could whiz on missouri's keyboard, and mine could crap on the monitor.

Come to think of it, maybe they(the cats) could just catch him while he asleep, and do their thing in his ear. At least that way, he would have something of subsistence in between both ears.

Yah, Ed. But I think that the cancerous growth between his ears may feed on the cat whiz.

Gentlemen,
I believe that we should not lower are selves to Missouri's standards. I think it is wrong to use name calling and insults against a person no matter how uneducated and immature they are. Before this thing gets carried away and someone say's something they might regret. Take a deep breath and remember what kind of a clown your dealing with.

Notice that this fool started out complaining that there wasnt any signs posted, now hes complaining when someone installs a sign, 4th grade education and all.
Well, duh?

There once was a lady from Exeter
and all the young men threw their sex at her.
Just to be rude,
she lay in the nude,
while her parrot-a pervert-took pecks at her.

Oh and your right.. I wouldn't let my cat whiz anywhere near missouri.. it's not a good enough place to whiz.
