> “Railroad crossing deaths in the U.S. have come down from 786 in 1975 to 315 in 2001. ... I think this was largely due to the U.S. government’s rail-highway crossings program which since 1978 has injected $4 billion into crossings improvements" Cars have become a lot safer in that time. And the number of crossings changed by a factor of 0.68. Both of these could account for the reduction in railroad crossing deaths. |
