Robert, trains do not need steering wheels they run on tracks. I hope this helps you understand how the railroad works. If you need any more help I will have my 3 year old help you out.
How much education do these morons need. The rule has always been when you approach a RR stop without a safety gate, you stop,look, both ways, then get across the tracks quickly. When there’s a gate, you NEVER go around it. Why is this so difficult to grasp?

Maybe the legislature should ticket themselves for allowing too fast of trains with the blind spots.
Where is the legislation for video at all crossings that the killer railroad can’t alter like they do all the time?
