Conductor Operator surely needs some support as well as these grieving
families..Train and Track safety should be drilled into all school children
from grade 4 to 12 and not just in Drivers Ed.Adults you are on your own
but note that the kids are watching you around trains and while driving
with you near crossings.Fog ,Rail , Darkness ,Ice ,snow all add to the
challenge of Train safety
Seems like there’s so many train accidents lately in the area…. what’s going on??? Come on people… don’t try to beat the train . U never WIN!!!!
