Rail industry marks sixth annual International Level Crossing Awareness Day
It’s too bad these public awareness campaigns never get seen by the public. None of my nonrailfan friends have ever heard about this.
I agree. If the mainstream media would do a story on this and the railroads would promote the OLI specials the general public would be more aware.
Interesting how differently media play up a car or ped vs. freight train incident than a car or ped vs. Amtrak or commuter train. Amtrak is usually cast as the demon in the TV coverage.
That is usually the case, John, even though the other party is clearly at fault.
