grade crossing

“We’ve got so many grade crossings in the country,” Little said.

“We continue to invest in grade crossing safety by maintaining crossings, working to help develop public service campaigns and educational resources and investing in new technologies,” the railroad said in a Wednesday statement.

The railroads could then enclose a Sodo train base and remove a busy grade crossing from the regional mainline.

The Federal Railroad administration later urged proper training, oversight and crew communication at highway–railroad grade crossings.

In the 1990s, federal rail regulators examined some 2,000 local bans on train horns and concluded they were contributing to crashes at grade crossings.
