Who are you talking to, and who is attacking you Steve? I don't see any attacks against you.

Yes, the stopping distances are much greater for the trains and not all the brakes work as effeciently as they should... but then there are big trucks on the road that do not have the brakes adjusted and up to code either. I believe that no one is placing blame on anyone here in this thread. Accidents between semi trucks and smaller vehicles are 75% of the time (according to DOT & OOIDA statistics) the fault of the smaller vehicle. I do not know the stats about the train/vehicle accidents... but I would guess they are similar. There are those cars and trucks that run the tracks (when the lights are on and arms down) and there are those engineers that may be "asleep at the wheel" sometimes. But overall I think it is important to have the trains rolling... and the trucks hauling... we just need to have a better form of communicating our own inherent problems, so that each of us can watchout for the other.
