bald headed step child	BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN (68* d)	RE: BS: The forgotten workhorse the TRAIN	24 Feb 09
As your post says Ebbie, the law requires passengers to have priority. I'm sure it works in reality like the law that says they can't block a highway for more than 10 minutes. They just pay the fine as a cost of doing business. I've had to sit close to 4 hours waiting for a train, as you can't really make a u-turn on a 2 lane road with a 75 foot truck. Sharing tracks is definitely a problem. It seems to lead to way too many accidents, also. I always thought they should each have their own tracks, and I may be wrong, but I thought Amtrak had most of their own at one time, and sold them off due to maintenance costs. Like I said though, I may be wrong on that. I was only about 10 years old when they did their restructure. BHSC
