They are the types that would move to next to a highway or airport cause its cheaper for obvious reasons, then complain about the noise. That doesnt work well so they move to flyover country and expect their stupid games to work there.

The one thing i dont get, why arent they grading these crossings properly? Or atleast putting up major signage to warn trucks? Id think that a single delay from a wreck would cost the RR more than what it would take to pay for the signs, or the state/county could find a way to pay for it to save on first responder overtime from any incidents. Is that my problem, I'm "thinking?" Can't go around doing that i guess.

Well that’s the thing,this particular grade crossing is off limits to trucks according to the article and the locals. This was the second major derailment involving a truck train collision in 8 months at that grade crossing!
