QUOTE: Railroaded on private crossings Buses would be better to take vehicles off the road because they're not glued to a track. This is about a oxymoron statement: "requires approval from the state for a private grade crossing of the rail line." (Crossings could derail return of rail service, March 28). Has the Constitution been changed and the people not told? There are no statutes Federal or state on private crossings anywhere in the United States. Legally, railroads don't even need to put up a sign. They don't have to remove sight obstructions, they don't even blow the whistles at the close to 98,000 private crossings in the U.S., which is well over a third of the total. When you come up with what a legal private crossing is, please let me know. I had a family member killed at a 79 percent sight-obstructed private crossing with no train whistles. While you're at it, ask the Governor why there are thousands of "public" crossings in the United States that fail the minimum FHWA requirements in the chart http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/TA/ProgMgt/Grants/Sight_Eng.pdf . By the way, the Stop sign in the picture on your news article was put in by the railroad. It has no legal meaning! A person needs no driver's license on a private road. The railroads just stick them in at private crossings so they can point their finger when they blindside somebody. The railroad people who installed it have no degree in traffic engineering. Are the sight lines there from 15' to 50' from the near rail of the crossing to see the train according to the track speed? The state doesn't even know the track speed because the robber baron railroads set their own and it sure ain't to the sight lines at the crossings. It's so the trains don't fly off the track. For example, you stop and can see 250 feet, say. The chart says you need to see 1,450 feet for a 90-mph Amtrak. You pull across and about that time the Amtrak comes out from behind the curtain 250' away. The cops write it up as "failed to stop" when in reality you are caught in a traffic trap which couldn't be better designed if they tried. Robert Pines Sullivan, Mo

QUOTE: Questions whether train accident was suicide This is in regards to the story "Autopsy ordered after train fatality at Gibbon; investigation indicates possible suicide." So the railroad runs up and sticks a Web page in the dead man's car or what? It amazes me trains have three collisions a year in Buffalo County and investigators can say this man committed suicide. How fast was the train going? What kind of crossing protection was there? Where was the sun? Was it raining, foggy, snowing? What did the event recorder on the train say about speed, whistles, brakes, running lights? What did the black box in the equipment housing have if there was crossing equipment there? Did the equipment work? What were the sight lines? Did the driver's brakes fail? Did his accelerator stick? Did his vehicle stall? Did the vehicle get a tire off the edge and become hung up? Any outside security cameras showing the crossing area? Did the driver black out? Did the driver have a heart attack? Were there trees in front of the crossing equipment? Were there vehicles parked in front of the crossing equipment? Was there a rise or fall in the road where the driver comes up on the crossing without having time to stop? Was there another train parked or passing through the area at the same time? Was the driver shoved into the crossing by another vehicle? Was he knocked unconscious and parked on the crossing? In other words how did you come up with suicide? I could sit right hear with a Web cam and tell the U.P. train, "Hey there is a vehicle parked at the Pawnee Road crossing." Where Pawnee Road is listed in the FRA data base in Buffalo County I have no idea. The man must have built the crossing to commit suicide at. Robert Pines Sullivan, Mo.

QUOTE: Originally posted by skeets When they tell you about the glories of diversity, don't believe them. THEY'RE LYING! Think about it. Are the things that make us different the things that bring us together? Is the mulligan stew society they're constructing making us stronger? NONSENSE! Use the brain that God gave you and think. It IS the things we hold in common [Like, maybe, love of liberty? Quaint notion.] that keep us together as a nation and a society. When we no longer share common goals and ideals, it's all over.
QUOTE: Originally posted by railphotos Mr Blysard, My apologies to you sir for my words! I am sorry! I was using the two previous posts as an example of how people don't get along with other people simply because of words! We all live on the same planet, and all of us here like trains- we have a commonality. The U.S. is made up of diversity, and there are a lot of other problems in this nation and the world that demand our attention. My apologies to you and to the people of Texas, I was only using words to show my example of intolorance. We CAN get along with each other. I study anthropolgy and I realize how different we all are-we come from different backgrounds, and different locations and have had different experiences in life-my depression nearly killed me and I realized that I only had so much time left if I made out alive-so I want to make the best of it! Again-my apologies to you and the people of Texas-Have a good life!
