IMO, the sad part is that these drivers are not trained / informed of the blue emergency signs.   This training should be required in order to obtain a CDL.  In the past year, I was speaking with one of my brothers about this and he had no idea of the signs at the RR crossings and he's been driving for 15 plus years, lowboy trailers no less.

Is that ENS info, taught at Driving Schools? I wouldn't have known about those signs, if I hadn't read about those, in the OGR forum.

8 years ago, I reported a malfunctioning grade crossing, using the Emergency Notification System, number, at a local UP crossing, on a weekend. Despite waiting 30 minutes and calling twice, I was informed by the UP dispatcher, that the nearest signal maintainer, was over an hour way, in the next state.

These are just my opinion,
