They need to make the railroad bought state and Federal railroad safety people and the railroad brass paying themselves millions robbing the railroad safety budget blind ,ride out on the front of these 70 mph Amtrak trains with no brakes or steering going through a double track private crossing that the railroads are even too cheap to put "W' whistle signs at. That way when the last second train horn freezes the driver like a deer in the headlights they can hand out safety literature.
