<p>It would have been interesting to see you compare your latest assumptions with the CSX rule posted by n012944. But again you hide behind personal animosity.</p> <p>1) You believe the Amtrak train had permission through the work zone. The movement toward the workers can't be the reason as it had to stop. Where is the work zone limit? Believing is not knowing.</p> <p>2) Rule violation by MoW workers crossing road without protection.</p> <p>Quote from n012944's post:</p> <div class="page" title="Page 125"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"><ol style="list-style-type:none;"> <li> <p><span style="font-size:12.000000pt;font-family:'Arial,Bold';vertical-align:-2.000000pt;">"712.29  </span><span style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'Arial';">When approaching a highway-rail crossing at grade: </span></p> <ol> <li style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'Arial';"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Be prepared to stop short of the crossing, </span></p> </li> <li style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'Arial';"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt;">Do not operate on-track equipment over the crossing unless the way is known to be clear, and </span></p> </li> <li style="font-size:10.000000pt;font-family:'Arial';"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt;">If necessary, use a flagman wearing a lime yellow or orange vest to stop highway traffic." </span></p> </li> </ol></li> </ol></div> </div> </div> <div class="page" title="Page 125"> <div class="layoutArea"> <div class="column"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">For me it looks as if the MoW workers didn't deem protection necessary</span></span> <p><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">3) And then there is crossing of MoW equipment with not fully closed gates.
