    [ I totally agree that the owner needs to be closed down. I'm sure when the lawyers get done with him he will be closed,bankrupt.[/QUOTE]

    The driver that died was an owner operator.
    Going around crossing gates is always a bad decision, cost him his life.

    I was hoping he was an O/O...fewer people to take down with him than had he been directly hired by a company.

    thank goodness another moron we do not need to think about...he got what he deserved, as sooner or later every dumd-Asres luck runs out...

    i am glad to hear that no one on the train was seriously hurt or killed...

    to the driver's family...??

    you'll be living off welfare now that we have to pay for....so what did they lose...?? nothing.....

    Not to be an ethnic bigot, but wondering from the driver's name how he got a CDL, and if he could read English. Chicago area has lots of Eastern Europeans that make me wonder......

    This guy was a hazard to other people if there ever was one. He will not be missed by me anyway, I’m glad he is off the road permanently.
