The railroads do NOT pay for the crossing signals
The county or the state has to pay for them .
Is about a quarter million per crossing to instal the signals and arms
never gonna happen on a dirt road .
they usually install arms after two fatal accidents at the same crossing .
Sadly , that’s the criteria that is normally used to decide which crossings get the quarter million dollar arms .

One thing is for certain-MoDOT is in the hot seat for this one along with the dump truck owner!

Or is it that since it's a county road they have to buy them but the RR maintains them because of liability reasons ?Another Canadian driver and Siinman Thank this. -

Last Call and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
What a mess..dump truck driver family suing the county and bnsf for negligence and bnsf & amtrak suing the dump truck company and families on the train suing amtrak…
Another Canadian driver, mjd4277 and Siinman Thank this. -
It will come down to what ever the NTSB finds in their investigation..
Which we all know it will come back inconclusive.. but they will make sure the BNSF has no fault because one hand wash's the other
Personally hope the court awards the dump truck driver's family millions and each passenger on Amtrack 100k
And the court forces BNSF to update the crossing and hopefully Amtrack is forced to file bankruptcy due to the settlementLast edited by a moderator: Jun 30, 2022
