I have a couple of friends that are signalmen for Burlington. They tell some horror stories. They say that when approaching a grade crossing, if the arms are down, the lights are blinking and the bell is ringing – that means only that the arms are down, the lights are blinking and the bell is ringing.
They say to never cruise through a grade crossing without treating it as one without arms and signals.

From everything i hear expensive and takes forever, and they want lots of paperwork. I think a new comm site on Federal land (including the environmental assessment) might be easier from the stories I hear. It took me a few months to even get them to respond last time I tried, at which point I decided wireless was easier. On Jul 11, 2017 11:30 AM, "Chuck McCown" <[email protected]> wrote: Easy. Find out who owns it. An active UPRR longitudinal ROW is expensive but easy to do. If there is no RR easement any more, then you just deal with the land owner.

Does anyone have experience with this? Or is is generally too much of a hassle to deal with?
