People like that need to move out in the country, but that area is getting smaller all the time. We have quiet zones here in Fort Worth, Texas and that is where most of our crossing accidents happen. It is a part of life that some just dont know how to cope with. Alan

These people who want quiet KNEW the RR was there when they brought a house near a crossing, RR line or even a airport, as that is a mess here in Gaithersburg, MD with a airport that has been over 60 years and new homes being built near and people complaining about the noise of the planes! Good grief. Mike.

It is called momentum. Quiet zones should have automatic popup baracades that are activated by the trains as they sound the first horn warning. Just thinking about your anguish. thanks, Alan Lambert From: Michael & Linda Marmer <mailto:mlmarmer%40verizon.net> To: mailto:S-Scale%40yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 10:40 AM Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Grade crossing accident Andre, I can understand that these accidents have a great impact on you, as it would be for anyone.

That is correct, Mike. > Not your fault. And I understand that... but it still leaves imprints. To this day my butt tightens up each time I approach a crossing where I hit someone. I often violate the 15-20 second rule at those crossings.
