@jsfa380 the centenary is that high do to fright clearances on engines and maybe double stack trains if any run on this track

[jfsa380]

Great horn on that CSX!

In my opinion railroads should do more to replace crossings with under or overpasses bridges

[Ohiorailfan]

I agree

[PaulPeirceFan]

but that means no horn!!!!!!

Over in Chicago on the BNSF Triple track mainline, i believe all 35 miles is a silent zone

[PaulPeirceFan]

>:(

[trainfans2]

I agree, but that's costly and not logistically feasible in some cases.

If the railroads could get more government funding, they would. Lack of funding is also the reason for trains unable to handle the high speed trains' full speed (i.e. Amtrak Acela limited to 150 when it can reach 200).

No, people should stop when the gates go down.

[chbitter]

that is true. however there a still a lot of stupid people out there.the only solution is to reduce the road crossings.

the railroad may benefit from this is well lase signaling and other maintenance cost in the long run. and perhaps increasing track speed

[sieman700]

wow people dont know how to wait for a train to go by
