I don’t find it at all suprising that railroad accidents have increased. The railroads “deferred maintiance” programs have cut back on local crews to keep the right-of-way clear for sight visibality.
Any accident expert will tell you that sight distance is the largest reason for accidents. Local cops may see two railroad accidents in a career, last year I visited 22 accident sites, 20 of which had railroad failures to merit futher investigations.
Quit blaming the public for local government and railroad failures.
OLS should be charge with obstruction for spreading their brand of lies and halftruths.
Where are all the “no tresspassing” signs along well used right-of-ways?
