My best friends, who were also my in-law relatives were murdered when a train struck their car, killing them instantly. They knew these roads and they knew the crossings, but for some reason they got distracted and were killed by the train. How are you going to protect those of us who have driven these roads our entire lives from this new train. We will not be expecting the train. Much like new speed limits imposed on the out-skirts of towns that tend to act like speed traps for those of us who are used to the road having no speed limit, how are you going to help those of us set in our ways from being killed when we forget the train is in the area. All of us are naturally used to our surrounds and become complacent and even unobservant, this line will be a great danger to the thousands of older driver in the affected areas who are not used to the train being there. This is such a bad idea and this line needs stopped.
